Hi guys, I'm back. The Scottish Tourist Board(Visitscotland.com)
came back to me so here is the reply that I have received.

Dear Andy
Thank you for your enquiry, The music is by Paul Mounsey and is untitled and not for release as yet, more info on the atrist can be aceesed at www.nahoo.org

Regards
Davie

As I have said, I have never seen the ad. but as for Paul Mounsey, I have his first three CD's Nahoo 1, 2 and 3.
He is one of the most exciting things to come out of Scotland in a long time.
His first album was mostly sampling odd bits of gaelic and maybe a bit of Runrig with a lot of musical input by himself. Now an old traditionalist like myself took quite a wee time getting used to this but his work is a superb art form and by his third album, I love everthing that he does. (I suppose it's like what it was when sythesizers were first used by folk bands).
Paul lived in the Easter Ross-Shire town of Alness and now lives somewhere in South America and aparantly is big in film music.
I can only recommend that you try and get a listen to his stuff.The "Don Roberto" track on Nahoo 3 stands out as a personal favourite.
