One I didn't realise I had:

FIONNGHUALA filename[ FINNONGU  Puzzlingly described as "Irish" in the DT, perhaps because it was once recorded by the Bothy Band.  Traditional Scottish version (their source, so far as I know) recorded by the School of Scottish Studies from the singing of Calum Johnston (of Barra?).  Midi made from the transcription given in the notes to "Music from the Western Isles" (Tangent Records TNGM 110, 1971: re-issued on Greentrax CDTRAX 9002).  The notation is difficult, involving bars apparantly in 13/16, 14/16, 15/16 and 16/16.  I'm not convinced that it sounds a lot like the recorded version, but it goes, as given, to Alan.
