Popular Scottish reel. I believe it was composed by a J. Hastings but I don't know much about him(or her). It is played by Irish musicians too.

Key ?

This is outwith the bagpipe scale. Should be "up a string" in D.

Maybe, but many fiddlers play it in A.
You obviously recognise it as a pipe tune, Kenny. Have you any more info re the composer?

Also gets played in G

To confound matters, I've just played the Kevin MacLeod version from the CD. He does it in "G"
