MacKenzie Murdoch mentioned as the composer of the song [words and music] "Hame O Mine" was a fiddle player who played with Lauder from the mid 1890"s until his death in the early 1920"s.
My late father told the story of this composition:---Murdoch on his way to a tour of America and Canada with Lauder was one evening up on the boat deck doodling away on his fiddle when he composed the tune, it proved a tremendous hit in America and Canada during this tour.
On the return journey Murdoch playing his new tune in the dusk of a summers evening on the boat deck composed the words.

Fiddle players if you are on the lookout for a beautiful slow air I
can recommend this one, pity I cannot give the wee dots. I do sing it.

Murdoch composed a number of other tunes and songs, the only other that comes to mind at this moment is:--"The Brig O Balgownie".

Thomas the Rhymer made a prediction about this ancient brig:--
"Brig O Balgownie black be yer faa, a weedows yae bairn on a horses yae foal."
Lord Byron, when a schoolboy in Aberdeen, put this prediction to the test, needless to say the brig still stands to this day.
