Up an doon da harbour
Another great Shetland reel - Jenna Reid pairs this nicely with Delting Lasses (#8060) on the CD 'Da Homin' - I derived this transcription from JC tunefinder

The key is ambiguous, as both c nat and c# appear, so it could be A mix
Here's some info from Ibiblio:

Not bad
Not a bad tune at all... simple. I have listened to Shetland stuff enough to know what it is and the similarities and differences compared to other styles, but I am wondering with a tune this simple and straight forward, what kind of ornamentaion, would be used? Drones, rolls, syncopation?

Good Stuff!
I like this!
The first couple of bars sound a bit like another good A minor reel called Miss Shepherd's!
