Songs
Inspired by the history and legend Rich Nardin wrote "Piper's Refrain", about the end of Campbell's story, circa 1980. The song was first recorded for Nardin's 1983 album, and has been recorded by multiple artists since. The song is in the folk tradition and may be thought by some to be a traditional ballad when song by others. The story further inspired Margaret MacArthur to write "The Legend of Duncan Campbell" as an accompanying song which explores the beginning of the tale in Scotland.
