The position in the MS of this tune makes it look like an afterthought. It might look like the range says it can't be a pipe tune, but pipe music was sometimes written in D in the early 19th century and these guys did a pibroch that way on the same page. But playing the c's natural, as they would be if it were in the pipe scale, sounds pretty weird to me.
