ASHLEY'S HORNPIPE [2]. Scottish, Hornpipe. D Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. Perhaps English in provenace. The melody appears in the 19th century music manuscript collection of William Mackie of Aberdeen. Mackie was a piper, and his collection includes settings for Highland pipes and Scottish small-pipes, as well as sections that appear to include tunes for flute and/or fiddle.
