Couldn't have been The Bells of St Mary's, could it? There was a film of the same name in the 1930s starring Bing Crosby as a priest.
There are examples of it on YouTube.

I'm sure the Bells of St Kildas was mentioned on Smallville on Sunday gone......that was playing on a grandfather clock

Found it, its actually the Birks of St Kilda

find an instrumental version of "The bonnie banks o' Loch Lomond" or "Loch Lomond" because apparently that's what the song actually is.

It's a rare song that barely anyone knows, see the YouTube link below.

Below is a small group of people singing 'The bonnie banks o' Loch Lomond'.

apparently it was also in the film Highlander

the link above is no use, it shows Scotland fans singing the song ( sorry should've looked first)...I'd google Loch lomond if I were you.
