Just been informed it's NOT Scottish, only "influenced by"...
Anyway;
www.traditionalmusic.co.uk/mandolin-tab/Dashing_White_Sergeant.htm
has it in F with mandolin tab - I suppose that might be handy for fiddle too, but of course no bowing hints. My band plays it in D, much handier I reckon.
If you go to John Chambers Tune Search you'll find it there.
We play Dashing White Sergeant, My Love's shes But A Lassie Yet, The Rose Tree & The Cairdin O't for this dance but it may vary on the night
We play 'Lord Randell's Bride' with this for the dance and return back to 'DWS' for 2 turns to finish. Consult with caller to decide how many times for each. I think two tunes are enough. I've also considered using 'the Old Grey Cat' as a second tune but in both cases you would have to work on the changeover, finishing the last bar on the 'D' (presuming you are using the key of 'D') leaving out the usual run down-cBAGF#E.

Re: Dashing White Sergeant
Well, it is Scottish, which might be why you haven't found it here !
Doesn't anything come up on an advanced google ?

Re: Dashing White Sergeant
I too was surprised not to see the DWS in the tunes already submitted - I think it's one of the classics, wherever it comes from!
