On This Day, 18 June 1815 Battle of Waterloo. Also Musical Anniversaries!

The historic Battle of Waterloo is obviously on everyone's minds today.  For example, St Andrews University Library Special Collections have pulled together an excellent, historical blogpost:

A Complete Victory Gained with great Bloodshed

In our own library stock here at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland, we have our own take on the Battle of Waterloo - here are some highlights:-

• Waterloo (DVD) / Sergei Bondarchuck production (in Whittaker Library Stock)
• Song, 'The Plains of Waterloo' (in Francisman & Kidson's Traditional Tunes)
• 'Waterloo Hornpipe' - tune in Songs and Dances of Scotland
• 'Blar Bhaterloo' - pibroch in Piobaireachd Book 11
