Thanks Tim, and please pass on my thanks to Kate Dunlay.

"Miss Admiral Gordon's Strathespey" is given and Burns' song is mentioned, but there is no mention of "Lowlands of Holland" or "Loch Lomond" in David Johnson's 'Scottish Fiddle Music of the 18th Century' 2nd. ed. 1997. I don't know what might have been in the 1984 edition, and there is an earlier book by him that I don't have. "Low lands of Holland" here is that for the Child ballad in 'The Scots Musical Museum', #115. [An earlier tune of this title is DT LOWHOLL3, evidently descended from "My love she wins not her away" in the Skene MS.] Opinion is divided as to whether "Low Lands" was derived from Marshall's tune, or vice versa. Emmerson adds the "Loch Lomond" is the best known Scots song after "Auld Lang Syne", but says nothing about where it came from. Following, we have yet another older version claimed for the tune, a reference for the song, and a critique on the singing of it.

A short quote from John Purser's 'Scotland's Music', p. 156, 1992:

'The return of the Jacobite army from Derby via Carlisle is commemorated in the internationally famous song "Loch Lomond". The tune is a variant of "The Bonnie Hoose o' Ailie", the words relatively modern *(ref. below) It certainly has no place in the mid-eighteenth century and in any case scarcely anybody knows how to sing it. It has had heaped upon its head more appalling and ignorant performances than any song has a right to bear. Its subject-matter is one of bitter and ironic tragedy. The Jacobite soldier awaiting execution claims he will reach Scotland before his companion as his spirit will get there first by the low road. This is usually rendered by singers and arrangers with an inane chirpiness more suited to selling washing-up liquid.....'
'There is no popular ballad commemorating Culloden. It was too horrific.'
