Composed by the late Scottish accordion player and band leader Jimmy Shand (1908-2000), an immensely popular Scottish dance musician who influenced Scottish dance music for over half a century.

Although not written specifically for the pipe, many of Shand's compositions have been adapted for the Highland bagpipe.
