There are at least twa Scots Gaelic sangs still sung tae this tune, tho Ah've nae kythin o how auld THEY micht be. The fairst sang Ah haird wis (forgie ony possible spellin trauchles here) "Mo Chailin Alainn" (ma bonnie lass, my pretty maid, etc.). The sang seems tae exist in baith Irish Gaelic & Scots Gaelic vairsons, as the context in whilk Ah haird it wis a concert o Gaelic singers frae baith traditions, an they chose it as a "grand finale" piece familiar tae both sets o singers. Ah'm tryin tae reca the ither sang Ah've haird... ma Gaelic's nae guid eno tae reca the hale thing, but Ah believe it wis ane o those sangs praisin a particular place, an the plaice wisNAE Mingulay. Ah've haird it at a few ceilidhs on baith sides o the Atlantic, an Ah think there micht be a recordin o some woman singin it somewhaur... any help frae ither, better speakers/singers o Scots Gaelic?

Ah've been curious aboot this tune/sang pedigree, masel. Ah ken aboot the pipe-tune on whilk "Sir Hugh" basit his English lyrics, but Ah've aften wished for printit lyrics tae ony o the Scots Gaelic sangs that exist tae the same tune.
