The reel's popularity was not confined to Scotland for we find it named 'Duke of Clarence Reel (The)' in Lavenu's New Country Dances for the Year 1798, published at London. "Colonel Mac Bean's Reel" is also contained in vol. 2 (p. 156)[1] of the large c. mid-19th century music manuscript collection of County Cork cleric and uilleann piper James Goodman, who had obtained it from a manuscript provided him by Dublin bookseller John O'Daly, according to Hugh & Lisa Shields[2] (Goodman's "Miss Westrop's Reel", in volume 1 of his mss. is cognate with "Colonel McBain's" in the first strain only).

The reel also was entered in to Goodman's contemporary, fiddler and piper Stephen Grier (c. 1824-1894) x, 1883 music manuscript collection as "Captain McBain."

A setting of this noted reel as played by the experts of the Irish Music Club of Chicago may be found on page 116 of O'Neill's Dance Music of Ireland.

In composition and fluency of rhythm the variant above presented compares very favorably with the original especially when given expression on the fiddle in the inimitable style of the genial Paddy Stack from whom the manuscript was obtained."

-Burns wrote to his friend and publisher Thomson in September, 1793, "There is a third tune, and what Oswald calls 'The Old Highland Laddie,' which pleases me more than either of them; it is sometimes called 'Jinglin' Johnie,' that being the air of an old humorous bawdy song of that name—you will find it in the Museum."
+The reel's popularity was not confined to Scotland for we find it named '[[Duke of Clarence Reel (The)]]' in Lavenu's '''New Country Dances for the Year 1798''', published at London. "Colonel Mac Bean's Reel" is also contained in vol. 2 (p. 156)[http://goodman.itma.ie/volume-two#?c=0&m=0&s=0&cv=159&z=1464.1112%2C852.6783%2C7429.8284%2C2584.8765] of the large c. mid-19th century music manuscript collection of County Cork cleric and uilleann piper [[wikipedia:James Goodman (musicologist)|James Goodman]], who had obtained it from a manuscript provided him by Dublin bookseller John O'Daly, according to Hugh & Lisa Shields[https://s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/prints.itma.ie/goodman/TMP_Full_index_March_2022.pdf] (Goodman's "Miss Westrop's Reel", in volume 1 of his mss. is cognate with "Colonel McBain's" in the first strain only).
-Burns refers to James Oswald's '''Curious Collection of Scots Tunes''' (1740), in which the song is dedicated to the Duke of Perth.
+The reel also was entered in to Goodman's contemporary, fiddler and piper [[biography:Stephen Grier|Stephen Grier]] (c. 1824-1894) x, 1883 music manuscript collection as "Captain McBain."
-The piece is also entitled 'The Highland Laddie' and is very similar to the song, 'The German Lardy', also collected by Burns for the 'Museum'.
+A setting of this noted reel as played by the experts of the Irish Music Club of Chicago may be found on page 116 of O'Neill's '''Dance Music of Ireland'''.
-In the Genriddel manuscript Burns notes: "The 'Highland Laddie' is an excellent but somewhat licentious song beginning, 'As I can' o'er the Cairney Mount.'"
+In composition and fluency of rhythm the variant above presented compares very favorably with the original especially when given expression on the fiddle in the inimitable style of the genial Paddy Stack from whom the manuscript was obtained."
