This beautiful harp tune is often attributed to the famous blind Irish harper Turlough O'Carolan (1670–1738), but it seems it was actually composed under the title of “Molly MacAlpin” by William Connellan, a 17th-century Irish harper who lived in Scotland. Carolan reportedly said that he would rather have written this tune than any of his own.
