@nilsand Pretty sure it's NOT Irish! It's actually an American Fiddle tune. But the title and the sound was kind of written with the idea of it being Scottish.Because of some bonfire thing the Scottish did. The Scottish made these bonfire things to signal meetings and gatherings or whatever. And somehow this song is supposed to be connected to that. Oh and I guess it's believed that these bonfire things are also where the KKK got the idea for their fiery crosses.Anyway,the tune IS American
@fiddlyoleben Thanks, have to work on my ears to distinct Irish, Scottish and American. On the other hand . . I think a lot of American traditionals have their roots in Ireland or Scotland tough.
@nilsand Oh no, it's an easy mistake. Bluegrass and country music has it's celtic roots. A lot of music comes from Celtic styles. To know whether or not it actually IS originated where you think it is, you just need to google it.haha. Or if you know the name of the song, and know your history, sometimes it will be pretty self explanatory. ya know?
You are definitely on your way to owning "fire on the mountain". Keep it up!

@saphirbloom My wife plays bluegrass fiddle and she was told fire on the mountain is an old Appalachian tune.
