Completes the Natalie McMaster set

My Dungannon Sweetheart/Scaffies Cairet/The Juniper Jig from the album Fit As a Fiddle. The first and the last were here already.

Does anyone have a clue about the title? Scaffie might be a small boat, or a garbage collector.

The composer is Charlie Sherrif, I'm pretty sure.... Seems to me Natalie's uncle Buddy MacMaster plays some of his tunes.

MISPRINT

"Scaffies" dinna hae "Cairets", - they hae "Cairts".
"Scaffie" is a dustman, in English, ie - a garbage collector, as you found out. "Cairt" is Scottish for "cart".
