The tune is from Tro Llaw, a collection of tunes from the National Library of Wales. The title literally means "Hillside of Captivity", but is better known as "Wood-bine Cottage". It is also a version of the Scottish tune "The Orange and Blue", and, in the A part is just about a recognisable 4/4 version of the A part of "The Irish Washerwoman". These tunes do get around, don't they!

I know this one as the Scottish strathspey, "Brochan Lom", which translates as "thin porridge". I've also heard it played as a reel in Ireland.

In Triplicate ~ Highland Fling ~ without the repeats
As is true of all the members of this triplication, without the repeats, as 16 bars, this melody is a classic highland fling...
