Information

This tune, a different one from Finlay's Lament in PS book 1, appears only in the Campbell Canntaireachd, where the PS note records that the presentation of the tune there causes several difficulties. An interpretation is made, and "the result is metrically balanced, playable and reasonably playable but admittedly speculative".
