Poet Robert Burns directed in Johnson's Scots Musical Museum that his song "Here's to thy health, my bonnie lass" be sung to the tune of "Laggan Burn." Actually, Burns sent two different tunes to choose from, and the music editor, Mr. Clarke, quickly rejected one of them as being "so miserably bad."
