Jack, you got me thinking about this and it's a great idea! I have added a track to my SoundCloud page with the combined tunes now, thanks to your observation. Drummond Castle as before and Tha Mi Sgith on mandolin, doubled and played in two separate octaves. The percussion is a bit of fun I was having with a miniature Djembi drum I was given by my daughter. Rolleyes

RE: On Hold
I prefer the other way round - strathspey-then-jig was a common pattern for dancing once. But I also play Cutting Bracken a bit slower and Drummond Castle a lot faster than you do.
