Another tune from the first album by Jock Tamson's Bairns, the seminal Scottish group from the 1980's (and still going strong). Thanks to Nigel Gatherer for the basis of this transcription.

I think this may be a Neil Gow tune.

I conjecture that the Gows tastefully edited it into its current form and gave it a new title, but the tune was going strong before their involvement.

That could well be, Gow being well known for that. However I think that this a a good version of the tune whom ever may have composed it.

Agreed, Niall. To my ears it hangs together much better than the earlier versions. In some ways Nathaniel Gow, who edited the publications, could be accused of being a 'control freak' with his stated aim of 'standard' versions, but Gow versions are usually pretty good, so..... hence the use of the word 'tastefully' above.
