This is the first one I found by searching Google for "Alan Bain Music". There must be more...

...Jon...I always wondered if Aly Bain was named for this song. As clannish as families were then, perhaps Aly and "Alain Bain" shared alot of DNA...Alan Bain has a firstname, so surely it's about someone in the 18th or 19th century. I guess I should look it up on BruceO's website....

I must admit that I had not heard of this song. I just did a search to see what came up. Perhaps someone else might have some suggestions.

A worse confession: While I realise that BruceO's website is an excellent resorce, I seem to be too stupid to get much out of it. One day, I will go there and work it all out.

I think that Aly is probably short for Alistair or Alasdair - altho' I don't know that for a fact...

Tell you what I'll make a fool of myself by posting this now.. and then go and find out...

Cheers
