RED MILL, THE. Canadian, Reel (whole time). Canada, Cape Breton Island. G Dorian. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. Composed by Dan Hughie MacEachern of Queensville, Cape Breton. The tune was named after a sawmill in Queensville owned by fiddler Dougie MacDonald's father. See also Dan R. MacDonald's jig "Little Red Mill (The)," perhaps named after the same place?
