I'm playing around with bowings in the tune 'Crossing the Minch' (aka
'McNabb's Hornpipe') and seem to think that it's easiest to slur the two
eighth notes prior to the cut on a down bow (to give emphasis to the first
note and soften the tune a bit) and then begin the cut on an up bow. It
seems to work and I'm getting good speed on it. Any bowing advice from
anyone familiar with this tune?

Since I just caught up on this, and will come back to it later
when I'm not rushing out the door, let me first ask, what style do you
play? There are going to be *some* differences (as you've already seen)
depending on the answer to that question.
