Graham & Jilly's Wedding
My transcription of this slow air from "A Day Like Today" (Emily Smith). It was written by Iain Lowthian.
I know this is not a site for slow airs but this one is too lovely to be missed. One of the most beautiful melodies I've ever heard, it really has a "very celtic" sound to me, as stupid as that can be.
Played very slowly. Lines 9 and 10 can be played in a lower octave with no problem, as the low whistle does in the recording.

In D
If you'd rather not play those bars in a lower octave you can try to play it in D on a fiddle:
