The Sand Pit

This one is rather long 🙂. It is from the Ossian album “Borders”.

John MacDonald’s?

please take a look at

https://thesession.org/tunes/6204

in the cover notes (vinyl record) you´ll find:“ … two slow reels written by Dan Hugh MacEachern from Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia…”

I think , you wrote down both tunes, but they are very similar. May be the sandpit starts at line 17 ???
