That's very interesting Jack, and I'd like to learn more about Lady John Scott's ms, but... > It's so similar to "Off She Goes" and "Hit Her on the Bum" it's not very similar to Off She Goes (Humpty Dumpty for those of us who 'listened with Mother') and nothing at all like HHOTB, a good lowland pipe tune - I know that Bremner's fiddle setting has some LH pizzicato, but that's the only point in common with Pop Goes The Weasel.
