Thread Name: Origins: Isle of St Helena
Subject: RE: Origins: Isle of St Helena
The 1817 printing of Bonapart's Departure for the Isle of St Helena says the tune is The Braes o Balquidder and as the 'usual' tune wasn't written until 1821 by R A Smith then the 1817 tune must have been The three Carls o Buchannan as I have previously postulated (also in my dissertation of 2008).
