This is often played as a Highland, or a Scottish. Dot the down beat, and cut the up beat in half throughout, like a hornpipe, but with harder syncopation.

This is also played in American old-time circles. I have heard it most often played in G major.

Bluegrass enthusiasts here in Kansas have been playing this tune in D (major). A group called "The Wilders" recorded a version recently, they play it up-tempo syncopated and then drift into straight meter, returning to the syncopation for the final go 'round.
