O'Neill's #1561, "Planxty Davis" = "Killikrankie". It's in 'The Scots Musical Museum', #292, for the song commencing "Where hae ye been sae braw lad". It's a lot older than that, since it appeared in the Atkinson MS in 1694. The variants of that tune are crossed referenced to the Atkinson MS #, 138, in the Irish tune index on my website [and in the new demonstration code index IRCODEA.TXT that you need the computer program there to use effectively.] There is at least one other tune of the same title; look for "New Killikrankie" or "Haughs of Cromdale".
