You can hear the fiddle imitating the sound of the hen cackling as it marches to the farm dung heap hoping to scratch there and find food - perhaps worms? Yuck!

This tune is at least 200 years old. The piano accompaniment is in a typical Scottish style.

'The Hen's March to the Midden', performed by Colin Campbell (fiddle) and Katherine Campbell (piano) From Traditional Scottish Songs and Music, Gallus recordings.
