Another piper's polka?

Purportedly Scottish in origin, which might explain why it's almost all in the one-octave range of Highland pipes. This is transcription is from o'Sullivan, playing off the o'Farrell manuscript, so whether those low Ds or high Es or whatever are "Irishification"s of the tune are anyone's guess. Kind of iffy but bouncy string-crossing on the fiddle; good skip overall.
