Nathaniel Gow attributed the strathspey to biography:John Riddle of Ayr, although it has not been found in Riddle's (or Riddell's) printed collections[1]. The reel has an alternate title of "Stay and take your breeches wi' ye (2)" which also happens to be the name of another, musically unrelated tune in the Drummond Castle Manuscript (for which see "Stay and take your breeches wi' ye (1)." David Young also included the same melody in his MacFarlane Manuscript Book II (c. 1741, p. 237), although with the title "A Soger Lad or Any bodie."
John Glen (1891) finds it in Robert Bremner's A Collection of Scots Reel (1757), where it is set as a reel, as it is in David Young's 1734 manuscript (which Glen was apparently not aware of). Young, in his subsequent manuscript collection (The MacFarlane Manuscript, c. 1740, Nos. 181 & 192) entered versions of the reel as "Shàill an theil do raotan agad" and "Soger Lad or Anybody (A)."
