John Glen (1891) finds the earliest appearance of this tune in print in John Riddell's 1766 collection (p. 20), reprinted with additions around 1782. "Mrs. Cunningham of Corsehill" is but one of several 6/8 tunes that were labelled 'Reel' in Riddell's collection, perhaps because they were meant as solo dance tunes, or to describe a reeling type of dance.
