Fair enough, but as I said before, it was in the Edinburgh Shetland Fiddlers repertoire in the 70s. At that time the Fiddlers were mainly older Shetland exiles. Of course, they might have learnt it because of the name :) Derek Posted to Scots-L - The Traditional Scottish Music & Culture List - To subscribe/unsubscribe, point your browser to: http://www.tullochgorm.com/lists.html
