Subject: RE: recognise this Sally Sloane jig?
I still think it's basically the same tune as "The Miller of Dee", but arrested in mid-evolution between minor and major. Her intonation is pretty indecisive - you'd have to listen to a lot of her playing to work out whether she really meant the neutral thirds you hear there.

A rummage round Sam Henry's Songs of the People or the Greig-Duncan Collection might produce more versions to compare it with.
