Andy Thorburn. I think it's a good, interesting air.

Actually that's in 3/4 with the occasional 4/4 bar. I like the tune to
listen to, but it's not nice to play. A group of young fiddlers in
Perthshire have incorporated it - and other Catriona MacDonald played
tunes - into their repertoire, and to hear it played with a lot of
enthusiasm makes all the difference.
