The Reel of Tullochgorum is almost certainly the same tune but is
reckoned to be in D. It was published by Ian Powrie, apparently in
the late 1950s and it seems that he claimed that it was a traditional
tune which he had collected.
No-one is saying that Jimmy Allan is the same *tune* as Tullocch
Gorum, but that the latter's *title* was applied to the former tune,
and possibly before that tune was called Jimmy Allan.

Er, excuse me but am I being a bit thick here or maybe intellectually
challenged in not finding any connection between the tune Jimmy Allan and
Tullochgorum. First of all they are a different rhythm and secondly the chord
structure is different and then basically they do not even sound similar.

I've also seen it called Reel of Tullochgorum in one of the modern
Taigh na Teud compilations, and just thought it was a mistake, without
knowing the Ian Powrie connection. This is also rather strange in that
Tullochgorum is a completely separate tune with a long history (and is

Reading this reminded me of something. Jimmy Allan was the reason I had Bill
Hedworth make me a 7 key chanter. I couldn't play it on a simple one and I
rather liked the tune.
I'd forgotten about that until this reminded me.
