’S Daor An Tabac

Does anyone happen to know the origins of this reel?

Origins

I believe it’s Scottish… but that’s just a guess based on the tune’s range of only one octave, making it suitable for small pipes.

Sounds a bit like this one: https://thesession.org/tunes/3408, could it be related?

They might very well be, thank you for pointing that out - I’ve always ever heard it referred to in the Gaelic, so it might be another tune setting of the same song.
