"[[Rothiemurchus Rant]]" is the Scottish ancestor of the melody. A version of the tune was entered as an untitled reel in Book 2 (No. 228) of the large c. 1883 music manuscript collection of County Leitrim fiddler and piper [[biography:Stephen Grier]] (c. 1824-1894). Flaherty's version is somewhat distanced from O'Neill's. "[[Western Lasses]]" is a variant and is more noticeable in the second and third parts of the tune rather than the first (Alan Ng says: "compare 2nd and 3rd parts with the 3rd and 2nd parts, respectively, of The Western Lasses"). Philippe Varlet finds an early recording of the tune on a 78 RPM disc by an American Irish piper named Martin Beirne (who led the Blackbird Orchestra) on which it is called "The Grand Spy" (see note under that title for more on American versions). | "[[Rothiemurchus Rant]]" is the Scottish ancestor of the melody.

"Rothiemurchus Rant" is the Scottish ancestor of the melody. A version of the tune was entered as an untitled reel in Book 2 (No. 228) of the large c. 1883 music manuscript collection of County Leitrim fiddler and piper biography:Stephen Grier (c. 1824-1894). Flaherty's version is somewhat distanced from O'Neill's. "Western Lasses" is a variant and is more noticeable in the second and third parts of the tune rather than the first (Alan Ng says: "compare 2nd and 3rd parts with the 3rd and 2nd parts, respectively, of The Western Lasses"). Philippe Varlet finds an early recording of the tune on a 78 RPM disc by an American Irish piper named Martin Beirne (who led the Blackbird Orchestra) on which it is called "The Grand Spy" (see note under that title for more on American versions).
