  • love it! Does anyone know where I can get this particular song? I want to give at as present to my grandad, he loves fiddle-music! I would really appreciate it!

  • @battyboyzzz THIS IS NOT A SONG! The Rankins have a set of tunes begininning with the Lime Hill strathspey on the CD "Fare Thee Well Love" but the following strathspey is different with "Keep the Country Bonnie Lassie" in place of Calum Breugach. Jack Daniel's Reel is played in the set in the CD. "Molly Rankin's Reel" which is part of this set on the video is also on the CD but follows on from "Tell Me Ma."

  • This is a lovely tune (or is it set of tunes?). Do they have any more songs like this?

  • Thanks for the question. There was an m.c. in the islands who used to say 'the next song will be a dance' and we always thought it was funny. I don't understand why some folk refer to 'tunes' as 'songs'. This is a set of tunes which - I think - comprises Lime Hill Calum Breauch King George IV Jack Daniel's Little Donald In The Pigpen Anyhow, go to lbrankinfiles for more tunes and songs from the Rankins. All I have I've shared I'm afraid.

  • Notice how he plays Limehill?

    That's the way to play it.

    I hate when people speed the strathspey.

  • Thanks Superstar85CA. I have been resonding like that on several comments -I get awfully grumpy when tunes are called songs , "it really rips my knitting" Thanks again. :-)
