Additional Information

A waltz based on a theme written in 1984, while the composer and his wife were enjoying a holiday in a cottage owned by friends in Kirkliston. Although it is a slightly spooky waltz, this is not intended to imply Kirkliston has anything in common with the television series of murder mysteries found in Inspector Barnaby's country town of Causton in Midsomer, even if an eerie waltz features as the theme tune. That being said, two swans were killed by Mr Fox during that summer vacation in Kirkliston.
