I’m currently learning this air (aka Slieve Gallen/Gallon Braes). It’s a really nice tune which seems to float between D major and D minor, happy and sad.
Does anyone have information on who composed the song?
Sliabh Gallion Braes

Read this link above as the song book I have just qoutes "An exile song associated with Slieve Gallion Brae on the Sperrin Mountains in Counties Derry & Tyrone.
