Composed for Jonathan & Mary Ross's Ruby Wedding anniversary in 1992 and used as the original  tune
for John Drewry's "Boyndie Knot". Jonathan, who ran a well known tailor and kilt-making business in
Inverness, made many kilts and outfits for country dancers and the tune title refers to  his  habit
of using a bit of suitably knotted string when he measured folk up for a new kilt or jacket.
