The Corries song book says merely "Traditional". The other was a loose page stuck inside another second hand book that I bought. It has nothing at the heading of the song except the title. As I mentioned, it seems to be an adaptation of the Duke of Athol song in the DT. But that is just a guess. There is nothing to prevent the two from being parallel descendents from another primeval ballad. BUT that is just another guess.

Any musical historians out there?
