I don’t know anything about this, but I heard it played after this tune:

See the comments for details of the recording that it was on.

“Peggy’s Wedding”

In case you’d like a name for it. It can be found in both the Skye and Athole collections as well as in “Gow’s Complete Repository”…

Correction, I was sure it was in the Skye collection but on an initial search I’m not finding it… 😏 Sorry…
