Essential Tune List

I've had a request for "essential Scottish tunes" for the Royal Mile session. So here's a list, drawn from previous months' sessions! I'll keep this list at the top of the blog from now on, and will add to it from time to time. If you have suggestions of "must play tunes" you think should be added, let me know. And if you think one of the tunes I've picked is kinda obscure, do the same!
