There are multiple explanations regarding the title (as Matt Seattle points out). Jingling Geordie is reputed to have been a 17th century pirate and smuggler around the Tynemouth area of the Scottish/English Borders area (there is a cave there that bears his name, along with rumors of buried treasure).

Seattle also suggests a likely meaning is that a 'Jingling Geordie' referred to a jingling stick (such as carried in some morris dance traditions) that was also used by recruiting officers to attract those who might be interested in enlisting for the King's Bounty. There were also various pubs and establishments (e.g. in Edinburgh's Fleshmarket Close) called Jingling Geordie. | |||
