Description

Several times, I’ve found myself listening to a tune identified as “Reel De Montréal” in a non-SCD traditional-music album, realized that I knew the tune from a Scottish Country Dance context, and come here looking for it, only to come up empty. This time I followed up on The Session https://thesession.org/tunes/1346 (whose alternate titles only pointed me to https://my.strathspey.org/dd/tune/11081/, which might also be the same tune) and the Traditional Tune Archive https://tunearch.org/wiki/Reel_de_Montréal_(1), which pointed me to “Navvie on the Line”, and the tune in recording snippets here matches the tune that sparked this excursion fairly closely.

This tune already has several aliases but I added another as suggested.
