It struck me the other day, and I was wondering if anyone knows the answer.

Where does Winster Gallop come from and how did it get into the piping repertoire?

There's a Winster I know well but it isn't anywhere near Northumberland. It is near Matlock in Derbyshire. It is famous, among other things, for guisers, lead mining and goitre. Is there though another Winster somewhere in Northumberland? And if not, how did the tune get there?
