The Shetland Bus
Learned from the first La Lugh album. It's named in honour of the clandestine Norwegian resistance operation in WW II, providing sea transport between Norway and Shetland mostly on fishing boats.
I've been playing it for many years but still don't know who composed it. Anyone?

The Shetland Bus
I think it was composed by Dr. Tom Anderson.

The Shetland Bus
According to the La Lugh album sleeve notes it was written by the great Shetland accordianist and tunesmith Ronnie Cooper, who also wrote 'Da Tushkar', 'Miss Susan Cooper' etc.
