Teviot Bridge

My first attempt at submitting a tune -- this one from the Athole Collection, as compiled arranged by James Stewart-Robertson. I think it might be in the Cape Breton tradition as well. It's in A and if you don't play it too fast it's a good one to put some swing into, but speed it up and it works even better.
