The tune is called "Up We't Eli Eli" in Robert Bremner's Instructions for the Guitar from c.1760. (This instrument was usually called a Guitar or Guittar in those days. Also Cetra, Citra, etc. Nowadays it's usually referred to as an English Guitar)
Thanks! My spelling (and version) comes from the generation-later Aird collection. Should be fun to compare to Bremner, which (thanks to Rob McKillop) is available in .pdf! I love the guittar, and it's nice to hear dance tunes on it as well as the wonderful Oswald Divertimenti.
Very cool... Make some more!

I think the tune is "Up Wi't Ailly Now", but I'm not 100% sure. A lot of those Scottish slip jigs sound the same.

Very nice. I recognize this tune - was it from one of the 17th century Scottish lute books?
