Good Tune
This is a very old port-a-beul (mouth music) tune from the Isle of Barra.
This is in a great set on the Album Skyedance by Alasdair Fraser and Paul Machlis. The other tunes in the set are The Bird's Nest/Harris Dance.

An Old Woman Would
Yes, that's probably because it is in A mix. Everyone here plays it with g naturals.
