Does anybody know the correct name for this tune?

There is a nice video of the Allow Ceili Band playing this tune at the following link:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hX3cETXDs60

The tune is the second in the set of four tunes. One of the comments on that YouTube video says that the tune is called 'The Mountain Top'. But there is is already a tune on thesession.org with that name, and it is not the same tune.

Does anybody know the correct title? I would like to replace "Gan Ainm" with a better title.

Thanks!

The title does seem to be Mountain Top.

After posting this tune, I found more tunes on thesession.org with the name "Mountain Top". Some of those are clearly the same tune as this one. I wish I had found those tunes before posting this one. My bad.

Great tune. I've never come across it named other than the Mountain Top - and I've never heard 'The Mountain Ranger' called the Mountain Top before. Good that you took your version from a Ceili Band recording, good reliable versions without variations.
