..The last time through, I held on to the last note for longer to make an ending.

This is what I do, with those tunes which otherwise appear to end up 'in the air'.

Either that or add on an extra 'exit' note of appropriate pitch. I assume this is OK?

After all, "no respectable folk musician ever plays what is written in the score"...🙂

I have taken the liberty of typing up the full tune in ABC from Dougie MacLean's book.

I hope this is O.K.
