Those are the Skye Dances in the Patrick McDonald Collection, p. 37, number 27 and 28 respectively. There are 2 other Skye Dances, 2 Western Isle Dances, and 2 Harris Dances also on that page. I can't write ABC myself, or I would translate them for you.

Hi Veda, I've been away a few days so am not sure if anyone responded to this yet. I don't have the SFSF CD but I do have the SFSF tune archive and I think the ones you want are just called "Skye Dance I" and "Skye Dance II". If these are the ones, they're also on Alasdair's "Skyedance" CD (i.e., the one with Paul Machlis, not any of the ones with his group "Skyedance"! How confusing), on the 7th track (not the track actually called "Skye Dance", which is track 3! See previous comment.). At any rate here are those tunes, as published in the archive. Note the 2nd one is a little strange, being 20 bars long (I did verify that this is what Alasdair plays on the recording; he repeats the tune several times on that track)! Hope this helps. Let me know if these aren't the tunes you need and I can check with club members who are more familiar with that CD and get the correct ones. -Steve
