Barndance, reel or hornpipe?

No place in the tune description for 'march', so I've given it 'barndance' for the moment!

Transcribed from the playing of fiddler Phil James in Brighton. The 'B' part switches from D minor to C. Chords we use are:

Dm / / / Dm / / / F / / / A / / /
Dm / C/ Bb / A / Gm / Dm / A / / /
(repeat)
C / / / C / / / C / / / Dm / G7 /
C / / / C / / / C / G / Am / / /
(repeat)

McMillan's March

This tune is by Brian Pickell (note spelling of tune title). Liner notes on a CD he recorded with Pierre Schryer, The New Canadian Waltz, say that he wrote it for a friend in North Carolina.
