Transcription: by Darryl D. Bush
"Isles of Gletness" is a Scottish waltz found in a manuscript collection now called
Tom Buchanan's Scottish Tome with a total of 652 pages containing 1102 tunes.
I can't yet run down any background on either Tom Buchanan or his book.
There is a North Isle and a South Isle of Gletness east of the Mainland island of Shetland.
I learned it from Aly Bain & Phil Cunningham's recording on The Ruby (1997).
