The melody appears in the Drummond Castle Manuscript (1734, No. 45), inscribed "A Collection of the best Highland Reels written by David Young, W.M. & Accomptant." The MS, in the possession of the Earl of Ancaster at Drummond Castle, is sometimes called the "Duke of Perth MS" after its dedicatee. Edinburgh fiddler and writing master Young also entered the tune into his subsequent MacFarlane Manuscript (c. 1741, p. 229), compiled for his patron at the time, Walter MacFarlan of MacFarlane. The reel also appears in the James Knox Manuscript under the title "Killiecrankie" (No. 87, p. f. 26) (see "Killiecranky (4)"). The first strain is shared with the "Haughs of Cromdale (The)" tune family, but the second differs.
