'''PIGEON ON THE GALE.''' Scottish, Reel. G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB’. David Taylor (1992) identifies this as the root tune for a family of tunes which includes "[[Boys of Portaferry (The)]]," "[[Sporting Boys (1) (The)]]," "[[Pullet (1) (The)]]," "[[Shearing the Sheep (1)]]," and "[[Red-Haired Lass (The)]]." The title is not to be confused with "Pigeon on the Gate." The word 'gale' can mean either a strong wind or may refer to 'sweet-gale', a type of bog-plant.
