Two different "Marquis of Huntly / Huntley" ~ strathspey / highland fling

That's what I get for having two windows open at the same time.

That's the one referred to above.

I was looking for this melody, as given here by mrkelahan, because it is familiar, but I think by a different name, and I was half sure it was already on site? In doing a search I crossed wires with the two different melodies currently carrying this name on site here.

I'm not so sure that Kennedy, "The Fiddler's Tune-Book", got the name right on this one? But, there are some members on site here that would likely have a quicker connection here. I'll drop a note to a couple of those knowledgeable souls, fingers crossed.

I'll try to remember to come back and add another version of this, one with a second ending...

Another melody to compare with this one is the reel "The Grey Daylight", which is in "O'Neill's Music Of Ireland: 1850 Melodies", 1903, page 256, tune #1372...
