I usually use "Bonnie Tammie Scolla" as an early beginner tune. I teach it as a song first, then the tune on the fiddle. It isn't Cape Breton, it's Shetland.Yes, that's the one I was thinking of. I don't have the music for it. I thought I would never forget it after hearing it last summer (it's quite catchy) but darned if the tune hasn't slipped my mind.
"I's the B'y" is an easy Newfoundland song tune. "The Banks of Inverness" is a marchy-polka type tune I've heard Irish musicians play. It's not too hard and with "Inverness" in the title, I'd guess it might also have Scottish roots. "Duncan Gray" would probably work well, but I haven't tried it on anybody yet.
