Cape Breton Jig

I always thought that this was a Tommy Peoples tune. However, I have just hesard a recording of Breda Smith playing this and another and they were introduced as two Cape Breton Jigs.

I would like to know more about these tunes, if possible.

I tried to search for the ABC but could not get a match.

Sliabh League

The Title given to this tune on "Champions of Ireland: Concertina" is Sliabh League. This isn't reliable though because this is a cheap compilation and a couple of tunes were mis-titled. It is a great tune though.
