Tune properties and standard notation
FLUGGA [1]. Shetland, Country Dance Tune (4/4 time). G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). One part. "One of the tunes for the dance 'Da Flugga', which used to be danced in the little village of Collafirth, in the Delting area" (Anderson). The Flugga dance actually used tunes that crisply changed from jig time to reel time; see also "Doon the Burn Davie" and "Saw Ye Nae My Peggie." The name 'flugga' derives from Norse flugey, or island, and Muckle Flugga was the name for the island of North Uist.
