Standard tuning (fiddle). AB. A reel-time setting of the slide or single jig in "Highlander's Kneebuckle (2) (The)." See also "Galway Reel (4)," and County Leitrim fiddler and piper Stephen Grier's (c. 1824-1894) "Rossen Reel (The)."

Source for notated version: Darley & McCall had the tune from a piper from County Galway, Stephen Ruane, who was deceased at the time of publication (1914). They noted that Ruane was "an excellent performer": From the playing of the late north Kerry fiddler Paddy O'Sullivan, via Paul de Grae.
