LARACH ALASDAIR. Scottish, Pipe Jig (6/8 time). AKA and see "Old Wife of the Mill Dust (The)." A Mixolydian. Standard tuning (fiddle). AAB. The tune family composed of "My lame leg has kept me behind," "Lame Foot (The)" and "Trippers" is often represented as belonging to the same tune group as "Larach Alsadair" and "Old Wife of the Mill Dust (The)," of which there are harmonic and structural similarities. Yet, there are enough melodic differences to warrant separating the two groups.
