Popular Shetland jig
This is a very popular Shetland jig. I was looking at the track list for the Blazing Fiddles "Fire On" CD and realised that the tune wasn't here. So, I've rectified the situation.
"Returning from a wedding on the island of Fetlar which lies in the north of the Shetland island group and to the east of the Isle of Yell, Garster overheard this tune coming from a hole in the ground. The only explanation that he could give was that the music must have been made by the trows, the island's version of Scandinavian trolls. However, local cynics reckoned that Garster had fallen asleep and dreamt the tune"

Gremlins?
For some reason, this isn't appearing on the tune list. Is there a change in the system; ie the sheet music has to be added first? Or just something odd(apart from me
)at my end?
