The original is a Scottish 6/8 pipe march (I think by Pipe Major John McLellan), so it follows that my ABC transcription can only really be an interpretation of the tune.
Here's a clip of the Dubai Pipe Band playing the original at a practice night:

And here's a clip of a ceilidh band interpreting the tune as a jig at a community barn dance:

N.B. To clarify, it's the second tune in the set - at about 1:44 in.
(The first tune in the set is of course"Tobin's Favourite")
