Name That Tune!
I came across this video and really enjoy the tune at the end (Not the opening one... The Dark Island). Judging by the interview with Alasdair Gillies, the clip seems to be from a documentary on Calum Kennedy. Can anyone tell me the name of the documentary or even better, the tune?

I don't have one....the name/tune just seems to ring a bell. There was a strathspey/scottische version of Lochnagar and I seem to recall it being very similar.
I'm just off to work, will have a dig around when I get home this evening.

Sorry, you've got me stumped. Can't find anything. Searched through various tune lists with a negative result.
On watching that youtube clip again however, I note that Alasdair Gillies makes mention of 'that first ceilihd at Leethland'.....and appears to relate to their singing together earlier in the clip (?).
Leethland House was Calum's home....however if that was where the recording took place, I can't find any other clips which make mention of a recording therein.
However sometime in the past I still seem to recall someone mentioning it as a strathspey/scottische called Lochnagar (as opposed to the better known Dark Lochnagar). However, I could well be wrong!
