Identification of wonderful Cape Breton tunes played by Douglas Cameron

Hi everyone! Recently I came across several wonderful tunes played by amazing Douglas Cameron. I am trying to learn them by listening, but some rough music sheet would be handy, so I wonder if someone know names of those tunes. Thanks!

I heard a bit of Koehler's aka Pachelbel's Frolics and perhaps (maybe not) some of the High Reel in video 1.
Rose should have a fiddle in her hands while she's dancing in video 2 (:LOL)
You'd have to ask Natalie MacMaster...hear her on last.fm to pick up some of the names of these tunes. She plays a number of them in her sets there.
Lovely to see the kids carry it on....
Cheers

For the first clip the first strathspey is indeed Welcome To your Feet Again. I recognise the second one but can't remember its name. First reel I don't know. Kohler's Hornpipe is played once (starting at 4:34) before going into Caber Feidh.

Wow, Thank you so much! I'm going to explore those tunes right now, thanks for mentioning the Athole Collection. Good idea with the Natalie MacMaster on last.fm - I will try it too.
