Another early printing of MacIntyre's strathspey is contained in Edinburgh publisher John Watlen's '''A Collection of Celebrated Marches & Quick Steps''' (c. 1798).

The song "Red Gleams the Sun", from Johnson's '''Scots Musical Museum''' (Volume VI, song 503, p. 519) was also adapted to MacIntyres melody, although John Glen ('''Early Scottish Melodies''', 1900, p. 216) is of the opinion: "As a Strathspey the tune is a great favourite, but is not so effective as a setting to the verses." | Another early printing of MacIntyre's strathspey is contained in Edinburgh publisher John Watlen's '''A Collection of Celebrated Marches & Quick Steps''' (c. 1798).
