Another tune identified only by its ethnic origin, I got this from one of Elias Howes' books. It sounds like a version of Du, Du Liegst Mir im Herzen to me.

The old Irish set dance King of the Fairies played first than followed by a reel version of the same tune. I actually learned Scollay's Reel first and kept thinking there was something strangely familiar about King of the Fairies.

This is an old fife march that was turned into a reel, this version comes from Mecosta County fiddler Stewart Carmichael.

I got this from the Come Dance With Me tunebook, Paul Gifford writes that this tune was often associated with the dance Do-Si Balinet in Michigan and was often called by that name.
