Armstrong's Jig
Don't know much about this tune. I believe it was composed by JM Alexander.
A quick Google search turns up this hit on Nigel's site which lists a tune by that name on "The Eagle, The Mountain and the Red, Red Deer" by "On the Wagon". Nigel - any more info?

Armstrong's Jig
There is no information on the CD sleeve, apart from the composer, JM Alexander. On the Wagon are a band from my home town (Crieff), so next time I bump into any of them, I'll ask. When I imported the track into iTunes and got the track names, that tune came up as "The Strong Arm" for some reason. On the Cd they play it much slower than a jig, more like an air. It's not much different to your one. Where did you get the tune?

It came from a friend, Susan. She plays with a ceilidh band, Canned Haggis and when I was at one of the ceilidhs I asked her about some of the tunes she played. Next time we met she handed me the music for 2 of them - Armstrong's and The Lillias.
There was a great tune she played that is apparently her own but I can not remember how it went at all other than it was great!
If I remember right she played this tune at a fair pace, for dancing to.
