The tune is nearly identical to most versions of the Scottish reel “Loch Leven Castle," although the notation for that tune in Köhler's Violin Repository is more distanced. The hornpipe appears as a reel entitled "Hurry Home the Harvest" in the c. 1909 music manuscript collection of south Armagh curate, musician and collector biography:Rev. Luke Donnellan. "Tomgraney Castle" is structurally related to "Sailor on the Rope." See also notes for “Annotation:Loch Leven Castle” and “annotation:Tuamgraney Castle.”
