Perhaps a tune by Arthur Scott Robertson, a "national champion exponent of
fiddle playing in the traditional Scottish style" according to a book of his
tunes I picked up in Glasgow or Oxford some years ago (Musical Reflections,
Book III, self-published in 1983 by Robertson, of Lerwick, Shetland). There
are a number of tunes named after various Robertson's, presumably relatives,
in Vol. III, including 1 to Frank T. Robertson, "Lerwick fiddler," composed
in 1981---but not the same tune as Francis T. Robertson.
