Interesting about the history of the tune. The first thing I did when I heard that was look at March for a Beginner in the Kilberry book; the variations are similar to Company's Lament, but it's not quite the same tune.
The piob. high G leaves the F finger on the chanter. The alternative high A, leaving the F finger on the chanter instead of the E, is quite acceptable. JM
Thank you very much. I'm going to compete with this tune for the first time in piobaireachd and light music next year. I'll be using the Company's Lament, and this video was a great help in explaining parts of this tune.
Jim.. a question about temp of this tune...for a lament your example is quite quick..almost that of a salute...for competition purposes could one play it slower...?
I don’t that much subscribe to the idea that a lament must be played slowly and a salute quickly. Whether a lament or a salute, the tune has to maintain interest. JM

What are your thoughts on using the high A with the modified fingerings? Also, the high G, which this tune doesn't have.
