Dark Island was the theme tune to a BBC TV series of the same name. It was originally an instrumental by the name of "Dr. Mackay's Farewell to Creagorry" by Iain Mclachlan. The words were added for the TV show. The 'traditional' credit is just plain wrong - I hope that the copyright owners received their royalties nevertheless...
