I saw this in requests. I learnt this tune from a Capercaillie recording, Nadurra, a couple of years ago. It's a fantastic tune, and it caused me to learn to play in third position on the fiddle properly! (None of this stretching the little finger business for me, it doesn't even work properly for notes in first position!)
I think it's a McGoldrick composition but I could be wrong!

You´re absolutely right...
... according to the liner notes in Tim Edey "Daybreak" CD

Bass Rock
This tune is definitely written by Michael McGoldrick. In G-Mayer it's suitable for every instrument and much easier to play. Brillant stuff, regarding the amount of variations played by McGoldrick, it sounds simple and has a great effect.

A major sounds so much nicer though, none of this cop-out business! I know it's perfectly possible on even a keyless flute too.

I play a little bit different
I'll love this tune but I played the B in a different way.I changed the last triplete on the first bar of the B in af#, and so everytime the same phrase is played in the following bar.So the abc file would be this:
