I dont even like the tune. Also not sure that it really feels like a hornpipe though I don't suppose it is quite a typical reel either. The way I heard it played by a Scottish fiddler was very straight.

I'll get you into Scottish music again, even if it kills one of us... ; )

This is one of the worst tunes I've ever heard. But at least its traditional. At the very least...

Traditional...?
Don't think so , Paddy. I'm sure I have a recording of this from BBC Scotland's piping programme, if it's the same tune I'm thinking of. I've a feeling it was composed by Robert Mathieson, but could be wrong about that. He's not a man known for writing crap tunes - quite the opposite, in fact. I'll look it up.

Trad....no
This does look like a modern pipe tune of the type that's popular and works well with pipe bands. Not so strong a tune for more trad based stuff IMO though. I would be very surprised if this tune was traditional.

I just noticed it had been recorded by artists. And by traditional, I meant that the poster didn't compose the tune. I should really rephrase myself.
"This is one of the worst tunes I've ever heard. But at least its not another tune composed by the poster. At the very least..."

The Declan Masterson tune is a different one altogether.
