Scottish Songs for Guitar: Both Sides The Tweed
'Both Sides the Tweed' was written as a protest song attacking the Act of Union, the treaty that united Scotland and England as the United Kingdom in 1707. The River Tweed marks part of the Scots-English border south of Edinburgh. The picking pattern is regular and rolling, providing a gently propulsive waltz underpinning for the long, sustained notes of the sung melody.
