This is not so much a jig (hence the 16 bar sections) as a two step for dances such as the Britannia Two Step or Military Two Step, hence the alternative and more common name: The Shetland Two Step.
It was written by Shetlander Frank Jamieson.
In practice after the part in G you would go back to the part in A to finish.
