Dovecote Park

When Willie Ross first came to Edinburgh sometime around 1920, he stayed with James Braidwood at Dovecote Park until his logdings in Edinburgh Castle were ready. Braidwood wrote “Pipe Major William Ross’s Welcome to Dovecote Park.” Ross was not one for ostentatious tributes to himself and subsequently published the tune as “Dovecote Park,” the only name by which it is known today.
