Does anyone know the origins of the beautiful tune the Late Great Martyn Bennett plays towards the end of his track Hallaig?

Perhaps its one he composed, but it would be nice to know.

You can hear it and see a video here:

Martyn wrote it himself. I'm not sure what it's called but I think he dedicated it to Sorley Maclean's wife. There have been rumours of a Martyn Bennett tunebook for some time now so keep checking his website.
