I got this strathspey from the recording by Finlay MacDonald, a Scottish piper. Pretty simple tune, but you’ll get in a trance after playing it several times.
The triplet in the end makes it easy to move on to a jig. Try the set of this strathspey and Scatter the Mud.
This would also move into the Congress Reel very nicely…

Great Song!!
I like to follow up this tune with The Ale is Dear.
I love this tune—I sometimes play Atholl Highlander’s right after it.

Great tune
From what i’ve heard, named after A. A. Cameron of Mucomir (Lochaber) who was a national champion of the Highland Games in his day.
a Classic!
isn’t that c# instead of of a B in the b-part?
Well, the ABC states: E dorian, and if you play this tune on the Scottish pipes, you’re in A mixolydian throughout (albeit with a strong E flavour in the 2nd part).
In this mode, C-sharp sounds better alright, and a few other modifications can benefit the tune.
