|f_annotations=This 6/8 tune (with a key change in the second strain) was originally collected without a title and later named by a founder member of the Shetland Folk Society, Peter Moar. However, its Shetland provenance is somewhat in doubt as it was published as "The Nut" in Kerr's Collection of Reels and Strathspeys (n.d.). Anderson and Georgeson transcribed their tune from the playing of John "J.J." Stickle (1875-1957, Unst, Shetland), and note the melody can be used as the vehicle for a Boston two-step. Stickle was the grandson of Fredamond Stickle, an influential fiddler whose origins are somewhat obscure, but who is remembered for his "Christmas Day in the Morning," a tune he played in the Laird's house each year. John's repertoire was extensively collected by Patrick Shuldham-Shaw in 1946 and again in 1950 (see Journal of the English Folk Dance and Song Society, 1962, pg. 129).
