Clever! The tune is indeed in RSCDS booklet 5 (dance 2), but it's in
F/Dm, which turns that high C into a high Bb. Neither key works for
the pipes, but then, it's not obvious how you would fold this into a
pipe tune. Is there a pipe setting of this tune?
Here's my transcription from the RSCDS page:
X: 1
T: Dumbarton's Drums
B: RSCDS 5-2
B: Playford 1697
B: McGibbon 1763
M: C|
L: 1/8
K: F

(Let's see if this makes it through without line wrapping. ;-)
