Going a bit further afield, a while back as a Scottish dance, we included the following simple but beautiful tune in a medley for an air-type strathspey. Some of the dancers recognized it and had big grins on their faces. We omitted the repeat of the fourth phrase, of course, to get 16 bars. This tune goes well with Banks of Spey, and sounds great on the pipes.
