This is quite an obscure one.. What's the story about how you found this one?


Not-very-systematically trawling through EVERYTHING.  I think I've read
through at least one printing of almost every Scottish music sheet known
to the National Library of Scotland.  I was probably looking for something
else related to Edinburgh or flute music in a music sheet at the time.
The way those sheets are archived is usually in big bound volumes of up
to 250 items, often assembled by somebody around 200 years ago and left
the way they came when put in the library.  Since the NLS cataloguing is
often not very informative, if I'm looking for one item in such a volume
I'd scan through the whole thing and note down anything else that might
come in handy someday for one of the projects I've got in the pipeline.


So there very well could be diamonds among the coal there? Amazing..
