Thanks, rog, I have a Cavendish LP in the cellar, but I haven't been down for a while. However, I'm trying to tidy my office and keep coming across hundreds - maybe thousands - of tunes, many on loose sheets picked up from here and there. And lo and behold, I had a look at a sheet with a dance and tunes composed for the wedding of Princess Elizabeth, so that must be from the early 1950s. Along with The Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh is Birkhall which turns out to be the tune I was looking for!

Re: [scots-l] Re: Tune Id?
The only idea I have that it ain't Scottish (or Irish), or if it is, it's a recent composition fashioned to an Eastern European sound. Well, this was defined as trad Irish in a primary school songbook, but no one ever heard of it on any list I posted it to just out of curiosity. I added something to fill in your missing beat: X:1 T:??? C:???
