'''OOT BE EST (East) DA VONG.''' AKA - "Oot B'Aist da Vong." Shetland, Shetland Reel. Shetland, Mainland Shetland. D Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AA'B (Anderson, Martin): AABB (Bain). One of "three traditional reels from the playing of the late Henry Thomson," who was originally from Vidlin, but who spent most of his life as a grocer in Ollaberry. According to Tom Anderson, "These were favourite dancing tunes in Vidlin for the dance 'The Shetland Reel'." The title refers to a fishing landmark, or meathe, called the Vong, a part of the Outer Skerries--in this case the fishing ground is to be found 'east of the Vong'. See also the closely related Scottish tune "[[Kilt is My Delight (The)]]." and the cognate first part of the Scottish ''puirt a beul'' song "A Cur Nan Gobhar as a’ Chreig" (Herding the Goats from the Rocks).
