Another man in the Moon

There are other tunes under the same title here, but this one is a GHB reel from William Gunn's "The Caledonian Repository of Music Adapted for the Bagpipes" from 1848, where it also goes under the Gàidhlig name "Donul na Geallich".

It sounds similar to other tunes, but I don't think it is here, and if there are variants here, this seems distinct enough to warrant its own wee place.
