TUSHKAR/TUSHKER, DA. Shetland, Reel (cut time). A Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB'. Composed by Ronny/Ronnie Cooper (d. 1982) of Lerwick, an accomplished self‑taught Shetland accordion player and piano accompanist. A tushkar is the Shetland name of a tool for the cutting of peat, although there are very similar tools in use throughout Ireland, Britain and the Continent. In Ireland the tool is called a slane.

The tune has become popular throughout Britain and especially among Scottish dance bands.
