Thirteen comments

In Scotland too, there is a reel version of the tune. It’s called "The Old Reel,"or "Cairngorm Brooch," and recorded by the band Ossian.

I thought this tune had 10 bars in the B part? I remembered it that way in Gow’s

Sounds great on viola too!

Tunes for Hogmanay….

The Ewe Wi’ The Crookit Horn - the piper’s version

And here is the piper’s version. Far superior for mine. This is basically Ossian’s version, with a couple of touches from Deaf Shepherd’s rendition.

Sorry those above dots are wrong in a couple of minor respects, including missing the repeat of part 4.
