By James Scott Skinner.
From none other than the Skye Collection.

Quite the tune! Very nice indeed, if I do say so myself!

Sounds more of like a hornpipe to me, but I guess there’s some element of strathspeyness to it!

Cheers and… Christmas tunes?!

We play it as a waltz - it fits nicely

Leahy

Leahy kicks off Track 10 on their CD "In All Things" with this song. They play it more like an air than anything (its played quite freely).
