Cropie's Strathspey
This is a sweet old-fashioned tune penned by Peter Milne, one of Scot Skinner's contemporaries: http://www.nigelgatherer.com/perf/fiddlers/pmiln.html My transcription of the tune is based on two marginally different versions recorded by Bruce MacGregor and another Scottish fiddler Patsy Reid. They both play it slow. Unlike many other strathspeys, this one is easy to play on the flute.
I should have posted this tune several weeks earlier. But learn it now for next year's Burns' Night.
