This year's theme was "Music of Bothwell" - it being a wee town just along the road from Uddingston. We started off with a lovely slow air, Bothwell Castle, composed by Nathaniel Gow, and published in the late 18th century. We paired it with a livelier jig, Lady Douglas of Bothwell, also from the 18th century, and composed by Donald Dow.
The final tune was Dark Girl of the Sheep, but alas, I can't remember where I found that one. It sounds like it would have been a Gaelic song air originally.
