The music given with the dance is unnamed but turns out to be Mrs Compton of Carham Hall. There is no music called McNichol of the Black Isle please omit but you could add as an another tune: Dunnechan (this is the second tune on Muriel Johnstone’s 1996 CD - SSCD 04) Many thanks

Actually, one of the publications HAS a tune of that name, please have a look here … https://www.rscdslondon.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/08-Two-Traditional-Scottish-Dances-8th-Set-1.pdf The recommendation can stay as is IMHO.

Update: Iain Boyd intervened through private conversation for good reason on my comments. The tunes in this publication are not headed with the TUNE name, but the dance name, which is odd and mislead me. I compared the tune "Mrs Compton… "on tune archive, and yes, that’s the tune, as also used by Muriel Johnstone on her recording. I changed the recommended music section for this dance and amended the tune entries in the publications and one of Muriel’s recordings. I then deleted the “Mc Nichol” tune. Thanks to everyone for their input.
