Wow, Pinetop Slim, you've got it! Hogg's tune in 'Jacobite Relics' is also in Aird's 'Airs', III, (1788) as "The Prince's welcome to the Isle of Sky". You can down load it from the world wide web ABC index at: www.gre.ac.uk/~c.walshaw/abc/index/split/html Select 'P' then go down to "Prince's welcome...", 2 versions (from Richard Robinson - and you may have to do some fixing of his timing of ABCs if you use ABC2WIN). [Richard Robinson's Tunebook should be acessible via the ceolas website, but I can't get the links to work today.] The tune is practically the same as "George Brabazon. Second Air" in D. O'Sullivan's 'Carolan', II, p. 169. O'Sullivan, however, has the tune marked with an asterisk (*) indicating that he doubts the attribution to Carolan. The sole source for the attribution to Carolan is O'Neill's 'Music of Ireland', 1903 (where there are other errors of attribution to Carolan).
