"The Maid of Bellevue" ~ Jimmy Shand
Alright, I'm out of the closet now. I love Jimmy Shand, always have ever since I first heard his music. I'm leaving the 'fill-fill-in-the-blanks' to those more informed about Scottish music. I've never seen an 'original' transcript for this tune, but I know it is also played in the key of 'C', as apparently by Winston "Scotty" Fitzgerald, and you can find a different transcription for the tune in C in this great collection:
