You seem to have stepped on a real mystery here!

  The 5C version ("Islay") is cribbed in "Minicribs" but no source  
given; it is also listed in the Sutton Coldfield Index with the  
sources remaining a mystery.

The "Islay Strathspey" is listen in the Sutton Coldfield Index as  
from RSCDS (MacNab), and in Napiers Index as collected by Jean  
Milligan; but it does not appear in the Miss Milligan Miscellanies  
nor in the Mary MacNab books (nor in the original MacNab Leaflet sets.)

Please share any information with the rest of us!
