The Shetland polka of this name is one of the few traditional polkas from those islands; it possibly took its name from the 6/8 version [1] tune (Cooke, 1986).
Sixmilebridge is a town in County Clare on the river Gearn, midway between Limerick and Ennis, not far from Bunratty Castle.
The name comes from the six‑oared fishing boats of the Shetland Islands, which are shaped like a norse galley, and Anderson composed the tune "after viewing the remains of a sixereen on the Hillswick beach which, in its later life, had been used as a flit‑boat in Hillswick" (Anderson).
