"The Unknown Hornpipe"
I got this one off a compilation of Northumbrian music ("Bonny North Tyne", perhaps..) and think it was down by the above title; at any rate, I don't remember coming across a name for it. I think it was played on a piccolo or whistle (Billy Ballantine?), and it certainly makes a beautiful whistle tune.

I have 'Bonny North Tyne' - I must dig it out. But I don't recognise this tune - I'm sure I would have remembered such a nice tune if it were on there.

"The Unknown Hornpipe" - It's called "The Burn Deviot"
This tune is in "Northumbrian Pipers' Second Tune Book" as "The Burn Deviot", written by George Hepple. I think he was a Northumberland fiddler.

The Burn Deviot Hornpipe
"Burn" is the word for "stream" in Northumberland, most of County Durham and throughout Scotland where the placenames are in English as opposed to Gaelic. (It comes from Anglo-Saxon; in other parts of Northern England where there was more Scandinavian settlement, the word used is "beck".) But one expects the particular name of the stream to precede the word - "Rowley Burn", e.g. If "The Burn Deviot" refers to a stream, the arrangement of the words is a usage I haven't come across.

Burn Deviot
I have hand-written sheetmusic for this, and the version is a bit different to yours, Nicholas.
