My Home is a lovely straightforward waltz to build on once you have mastered the Skye Boat Song.

It was originally published in 6/8 in the Patrick McDonald collection (1784) under the title of “Posadh peathar In bhain” (and is still known as a jig called “John Bain’s Sister’s Wedding”). The melody in 3/4 became a popular Gaelic song, “Mo Dhachaid” (“My Home” or “My Ain Hoose”) written by Malcolm Macfarlane.
