Sorry, I don't know the name for this tune. It 's the second of three tunes that are called "North Highland Tunes". The sheet music I have calls it traditional. Arr. Bonnie Rideout.

Name
Tune is called 'Arlitrach' , think I've spelt it correctly. An old Scottish tune. If I remember correctly it's on Chris Norman's 'Beauties of the North' album.

Oops!
Make that, 'The Beauty of the North'. and it's part of the first track.
Think it's possibly in the Patrick MacDonald Collection, under the same North Highland Dances title, but I don't have a copy to hand.
Will check up later.

Yes, it is in the Patrick MacDonald Collection, under the same North Highland Dances title.

I mean the second tune of the set, the tune posted here is not the second. If I remember well it is the third.

This tune would fit quite inconspicuously into an Irish session. Slip jigs seem to have undergone less of the 'regionalisation' that, say, reels are subject to (For example, an Irish and a Scottish version of a reel may be unrecogniseable as the same tune without close examination - and the Scottish version would often stick out like a sore thumb in a set of Irish tunes.).
