BOANIE ISLE O' WHALSAY [1], DA. AKA - "Qualsay." Shetland, Shetland Reel. A Mixolydian/A Minor. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABBCC. Whalsay is one of the islands in the Shetland group. The tune is known throughout the Shetlands and is generally played as a reel today, though there have been 6/8 versions in the past (see "Boanie Isle of Whalsay [2]"). In the 1950's "at least one fiddler, the late Jimmy Scollay of Burravoe, played it in 6/8 time, his version being noted down by Shuldham-Shaw in the key of G" (Cooke, 1986). Cooke's 'b' version is from J. Hoseason's MS., Mid Yell (Shetland), 1863.
