Tune ID ... another mystery

Ok its the last tune, after the Rocky Road To Dublin.
I think it is probably a Scottish piece, feels like I heard it on Bagpipes somewhere//
Thanks in advance.

Here's the thesession.org tune database page on it, under the title "The Further In The Deeper" with some interesting discussion about the tune. And yes, probably Scottish originally:

I have the John Doherty recording of the tune from his "The Floating Bow" album, it's a great tune. I need to learn it (and 1000 others, sigh).

Oh, yeah: also a mod here, not a spammer. A matter of opinion, perhaps.

I LOVE The Further, The Deeper. It's bewitching, prancy, exultant, and it pokes at you. Never learned to play the tune myself, but I was always ready with the backup when a certain fiddler showed up, because he was sure to play it sometime, and never soon enough for me. :thumbsup:
