The melody is by Carole Prior, (first name and surname both mis-spelled in an earlier thread on this!)and she sings it with her husband, Alan: 2 very fine singers, who live less than half a mile from us. Also good versions by Sylvia Barnes, and Duncan McCrone. Here is Sylvia's: Baltic Street/Sylvia Barnes Montrose is very close to "The House of Dun" - now managed by the National Trust for Scotland - where Violet Jacob lived. There are "Baltic Streets" in a number of Scottish and other ports, reflecting the trade that went on with the Baltic states - the Hanseatic League. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scottish_trade_in_the_Middle_Ages
