Nice! ABC and PDF in Paul Hardy's Session Tune book (https://pghardy.net/tunebooks/index.html). I first heard this 40+ years ago on the Martin Wyndham-Reade LP 'Songs and Music of the Redcoats', played by the band of the Royal Scots Guards, IIRC.

And as I’ve pointed out elsewhere, as far as I’ve been able to determine, the very first YouTube of a solo person playing a concertina in a self-made video was Danny Chapman (RatFace here on concertina.net) playing Roslin Castle in 2006.

Oh, wow, a little bit of history! That goes into the notes accompanying the tune in my ABC Tune Book! Ta!
