Anthony Murray's Strathspey
The posting of this tune arose out of Discussion #10662 about the identity of a "mystery" strathspey which seemed to be familiar to some people but which was otherwise difficult to pin down. Following a positive lead by Member #7250 (Greg) as to the name I was able to track down the ABC of this slightly different version in Andrew Kuntz's "The Fiddler's Companion" http://www.ibiblio.org/fiddlers/AN_AP.htm
It's a very old tune, dating back to the 18th century in Scotland.
