Bella MacNab's (or Basher MacScrape's) uses the tune to round off a set for
the dance 'My Love She's But a Lassie Yet'. The set consists of the
original, 'Over the Hills and Far Away', 'Nancy Clough' (from the same
source as Whinham's, the Topic album, 'Bonny North Tyne') and Whinham's.
'Nancy Clough' is a set of 'My Love...' with lots of twiddly bits on the
repeat, and was written for his wife by Tom Clough, who has contributed a
few bits and pieces to the Northumbrian Pipers' Tune Book.
