This is what is called Victor's Song from the movie Local Hero. It is not on the wonderful soundtrack from the movie, composed by Mark Knopfler and it seems no one is sure of the exact title or whether Knopfler wrote it.
The movie is set in an isolated village on the northwest coast of Scotland. Victor (played by Christopher Rozycki) is captain of a Soviet fishing vessel who, whenever he is in the area, comes to visit the village where his charm works wonders with the local ladies. During the course of the movie he provides some surprisingly good business advice to young McIntyre (Peter Riegert), who has come to buy the village on behalf of an American oil company.
The setting is a ceilidh, a Highlands social event, which the village holds whenever Victor arrives.
