The g's in bars 2 and 6 of the A-part should be natural.

Original Scottish version - Willie Davie
I think this might be related to the 3-part Scottish reel Willie Davie http://www.thesession.org/tunes/display/5890.

I think the arrangement was by Chris Norman/David Greenberg. And it was third in a set with Calum Crubach then Victoria Reel and then the Margaree reel. I have typed in the abc from the sheet music they handed out.
