Thank you my good man. I passed on your info the the person seeking the
song (naturally omitting the fact that I didna ken the answer) and she
was delighted.

Trivia alert: Alex Beaton was in the early 60s Scottish group The
Cumberland Three. He recently emailed me to relate his history for my
Obscure Scottish Folk Groups web page. He lives in the US now, I
believe, and tours Highland games singing traditional songs.
