Really nice rendition. Never heard of this song, but I shall have to look it up now.

I grew up just over the river in Maryculter (early 90's to late 00's) back before the bypass and when the Old Mill Inn was still standing. My partner grew up in Peterculter.

It's a small world.

I haven't been back since the bypass, so probably wouldn't recognise the place.

I checked on google maps & our wee gate lodge has had numerous extensions, so has probably lost most of its charm. 😞

 

I learned it by ear, but you'll get the dots for this jig here: thesession.org 

 

Cheers,

Dick
