kristeena, sophocleese answered your qustion when you last asked it. Is the link she supplied to contemplator the wrong song? It seems to fit what you are saying.

Sorry, kristeena, I will learn to read one day - I read it as "this is the song that goes...".

A 4/4 march apparantly written by David Knox; I haven't found a date.  There is some staff notation here (made by ear, I think):  The Rose of Kelvingrove

So far as I can tell, there are no words set to it.

I agree with Malcolm... The Rose of Kelvin Grove is a recent tune written in the sixties or early seventies for the pipes and commonly played with massed pipes and drums and military bands. Like Amazing Grace and Highland Cathedral, it evokes huge emotion when played in the combined band setting. I've done a midi here. The composer, I believe, was a member of the Black Watch when he wrote the tune, but I'll try to confirm that.

It is my understanding, too, that there are no lyrics to the tune.

The other Kelvin Grove is indeed a song and has already been identified here.

Barry T, I tried the blue clicky on the other Kelvin Grove, and it went down on me, am I doing something wrong, or is there a problem at your end?

Nope! Everything seems fine! That tune is on Lesley Nelson's site (she's hosting my old tunebook). Perhaps you just hit a busy time on that server.
