The last of the tree reels in the "Tarbolon Set" this is both an easy & hard reel at the same time. Not much to it but since it's got lots of repeated figures it's a little tough to get the phrasing memorized. this is a great reel on it's own as well.

you could call this kind o tune a 'marching reel'. There are a few of those around, like The Cocktail, The Blackbird frae Clough, etc
