Snug in the blanket is a Scottish setting of an Irish tune. You can find it in "A Few Tunes" by Iain Duncan PM of Scotrail Vale of Atholl.

Regards,

Sandy

PS I am in no way connected with the Vale of Atholl Pipe Band. Hic!

"Snug In The Blanket" I have always believed to be an Irish jig, which has been adapted for the Highland pipes. I've a strong suspicion it was the late Gordon Duncan [RIP] who put it onto the pipes. He certainly recorded it with the "Vale Of Atholl" Pipe Band. I also believe it was Gordon who turned it into a reel version as well.

This is the Irish version, in "G", according to "thesession":

The Highland pipes would play the tune in the equivalent of "A".
