Shand's your man. Any of his compositions because he lived at
Auchtermuchty, or more specifically there's "Auchtermuchty Gala". Or
what about a Proclaimers song?

There's a tune called "Loch Long" in Kerr's Book 4.

There are at least two tunes called "Glenlivet" one by Scott Skinner
and the other a satisfying reel which I think can be found in Kerr's
Merry Melodies.

"The Haggies o' Dunbar" (Gow Collection)

"Leaving Glen Affric"

There is a modern tune called "Eigg Bound" by David Fisher. It's not
brilliantly good, but it's got a fantastic name!

"The Road to the Isles"? "Kinloch of Kinloch"?

"Lassies o' Melrose"

You got me there, Dave.

Glasgow - where's that? Are you sure that's in Scotland? A nice easy
tune might be "Glasgow Highlanders". Or "Glasgow Gaelic Club" (in ALP
book 3); "Lochiel's Welcome to Glasgow"?
