MAGGIE O' HAM. Shetland, Single Jig (12/8 time). A Major. AEae tuning (fiddle). Tom Anderson (1978) says the melody was probably used as an alternative tune for the dance "Shaalds O' Foula"/"Foula Shaalds." In his own words, "Dere’s no an awful lok we ken aboot dis een. He comes fae Foula bit wha Maggie o’ Ham wis ah’m never fun oot. It wid seem ta wis dat he might hae been ösed fir da Shaalds o’ Foula dance at ee time as he is dat kind o’ a tün."
