Looking for a tune (Corries)

Looking for a tune (Corries)

The introduction to the Corries' version of 'Collier Laddie' sounds like a slow reel. Does anyone recognise it as a traditional tune, or is it likely to be a Roy Williamson composition?
My transcription of the first part is this: (I am new to ABC and transcription, [and everything else] but it is fairly close!))
X:1
T:Collier Laddie
R:reel
M:4/4
L:1/8
K:D

I am still struggling with the B part

It sounds like a variant of The Mooncoin http://www.thesession.org/tunes/display/1928

Thanks. You seem to have hit the nail on the head. The B part is very similar to the Corries tune also.
