Thanks.

Looking at what we have in the database there are three possibly duplicate (triplicate) entries:
(1) D Grant (http://my.strathspey.org/dd/person/3158/) with just one tune called Yug Bay Skye (http://my.strathspey.org/dd/tune/8354/)
(2) David Grant (http://my.strathspey.org/dd/person/1470/) with many tunes linked to him
(3) Donald Grant (http://my.strathspey.org/dd/person/11666/) with just one tune called The Earl of Seafield’s Reel (http://my.strathspey.org/dd/tune/13926/)

The checks I have been able to make with a few web searches suggest (2) and (3) are the same. But I was not able to find any reference to the Yug Bay Skye tune.

Finlay, before I merge these entries, are you able to confirm that none of the tunes we have listed for “David” Grant are actually by a different composer who really is called “David Grant”? And do you know anything about Yug Bay Skye? Cheers, Murrough.
