Description

Once again this entry conflates two different tunes (by different composers). I created a new separate entry (Lochanside) for the other tune, which is by P/M Angus MacDonald.

From the tunes that have 16-second clips, I managed to identify one recording which is definitely the MacDonald tune, and I reassigned it to that tune. The Muriel Johnstone recordings for the MacNab dance of the same name are of the McLellan tune. Without listening to the other recordings we can’t tell which is which (although I suspect that the non-Muriel Johnstone tracks are more likely the MacDonald tune).

The McLellan tune is defo a waltz. A weird zither version can be heard here:

and here is a pipe version of it:
