Bobby Mcleod
Written by the late great Bobby MacLeod from Tobermory as in the TV show "What's the story in Balamory?"
. He also wrote other cracking tunes such as Jean's Reel and Charlie Hunter.
This tune was recorded by the Easy Club and is very popular in Scottish sessions. It's actually more of a march than a jig, although the timing is 6/8.
