One of three settings in the TTA. I think I got the key right? One of these settings gives the composer as Nathaniel Gow, so I'm a little puzzled. I thought Nathaniel was Neil (Niel) Gow's son?

Thanks for the link to the TTA.

I had been trying to think which song it reminded me of, and it is given there - the Haughs of Cromdale.
