Allan Ferguson has sequenced a beautiful midi of this tune here. You can almost feel the mist!

This is one of my favourites on the pipes, and Allan's arrangement follows one of the guaranteed formats... slow air to 3/4 time up tempo. A lot of performers then take the tune back to slow air for a haunting, contrasting finish.
