Bothar Na Sop

I found this to be similar to Dennis Murphy’s Reel: ?Same tune.
What’s a "Sop"?

Sop

The Sweet Sop and Sour Sop are fruits of the genus Anona, native to S. America, and commonly known as ‘custard apples’. I doubt, however, whether a road in Ireland would be named after one of these.

Well, while you are pointing out the tune being the same as Lord MacDonald’s, the word ‘sop’ means a wisp, as in a bundle of straw. A well known character in Scotland was ‘Ailean nan Sop’ (Allan MacLean ) who apparently got his name from his pyromaniacal antics, using a wisp of straw.

Not a duplication…

of the tunes mentioned above, as this was posted first! :)
