TOO LONG IN THIS CONDITION.AKA and see "McFarlan's Gathering." Scottish, Pipe Pibroch. This pipe pibroch, traditionally said to have been composed in response to the long exile of the Earl of Seaforth following the unsuccessful Jacobite rising of 1715, is attributed by some to Patrick Óg MacCrimmon. A counter-claim is made for Patrick Mór MacCrimmon, who is said to have composed it following the Battle of Worcester in 1651 (Collinson, 1975). The tune now known as "Too Long in this Condition" is actually called "McFarlan's Gathering" in the Nether Lorn Cannntaireachd (ii, 169-70), the earliest recorded source. John MacDougall Gillies picked up a version of it a century later in Glendaruel, and it was subsequently recognized as a separate melody by General Thomason and published as such in his great collection Ceol Mor.
