% With this tune is associated a special Highland dance, commonly
% referred to as "Sean Truis", but occasionally as "Willichan".
% The full name as above given is the same in Glenn's Analytical
% Table , and in "Bremner's Collections of Scots Reels, or Country
% Dances 1757-61". After Robert Bremner's death in 1789 his
% collections were reprinted by Preston, a great London publisher.
