COCKABENDIE [1]. AKA - "Cecoll Hen." Scottish, Reel (cut time). F Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. "Cockabendie [1]" can be found in amateur fiddler and writing master biography:David Young's Drummond Castle Manuscript, Part 2 (1734, No. 24), sometimes called the Duke of Perth Manuscript because of its dedicatee. Young also entered the tune into one of his later manuscript collections, now known as the Bodleian Manuscript (c. 1740, No. 28, f. 32), but called it "Cock a Bendie." Under the title "Cecoll Hen" and "Cockabendie" it can also be found in the Bowie Manuscript^[1] (No. 41, f. 24v).

Cocakabendie seems to have various meanings in Scotland: A cockabendie or a cockie-dandy is Scots for a small, lively person, although it may also have had a bawdy meaning, as John Mactaggart in his Scottish Gallovidian Encyclopedia (1824) declines to explain the term, saying: "I dare hardly, for the sake of modesty, explain this term; when such is seen to be the case, readers may make a rough guess what it is." Cockabendie is also a Scottish game, and it refers to large pine cones.

↑ "George Bowie" "MM" and the date 1705 are written in the manuscript, although one tune is reliably dated to 1693. A date of c. 1695 for the ms. is thought likely. This manuscript may be the work of Edinburgh musician John McLachlan (active in the 1690's), several of whose works are included in it.
