I am looking for the name of the (I assume) Scottish tune used at the end of the 1978 film "Murder By Decree". Soundtrack by Paul Zaza Carl Zittrer; in the DVD commentary for the film director Bob Clark mentions the use of traditional Scottish tunes, but fails to mention the names of those tunes. Thank you for your time. Sincerely, Elly |

Thank you! The melody composed for the film is so lovely, it really sounds like a folktune in its own right. Thank you for the help. Sincerely, Elly |
