Notes

Learned from Pam Swing, 1984 Tom Anderson's notes: A trowie tune from Unst, heard by a man coming home from visiting a friend. When he sat down to light his pipe under a rock face he heard music coming from inside the rock. Although frightened, he managed to retain the tune in his head and sang it to his daughter when he got home, and she played it on her fiddle.
