CLINKIN O'T, THE. Scottish, Reel (cut time). C Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AAB. William Christie notes that the tune is "Old" in his 1820 collection. There are melodic and harmonic similarities to the 6/8 tune "Peggy's Wedding (1)" notwithstanding the the second strain of the latter tune is in the relative minor key.
