The Weaver's Daughter
Tried to submit this tune in response to Manfred.delameilleure's request - don't know where all the "\\\'s" came from. Perhaps J can correct. Hope this is the right tune Manfred. This one's an old traditional strathspey but I suspect there may be others with the same or similar title.

I remember this as a Gaelic song but can't find the words for it online or in my notes, at least not yet. I think I may have learned a version of it as a milling song.
