noticed this tune requested and found the abc format so submitted it. A lovely march in the repetoire of many fiddlers from Cape Breton (home) and composed by the great Dan R. MacDonald.

March ? Don't the snaps make it a schottische or even a strathspey?

I always play it along with this tune
http://www.thesession.org/tunes/display/2971
which used to be the theme tune for The McFlannells on the Scottish Home Service. It was later recorded by Altan so that makes it "cool" again
Yes, it's a bit more of Scottishe sound, I suppose.

It's classified as a march in The Trip to Windsor Collection: The Music of Dan R. MacDonald, vol. 2, compiled and edited by John Donald Cameron. There it's given in 2/4 time.

Good tune - I would use this for a Canadian Barn Dance (I would agree it probably should be written as a 2/4 march).
Personally, I wouldn't use it as a schottische, but slowed down, it could certainly be used for a strathspey.

"The Glencoe Hall" " The Glencoe Village Hall" ~ correction
While these names have been associated with this tune, they are more rightly assigned to a jig by the same hand ~ Dan R's...
