'''BEGGAR'S BENNISON.''' Scottish. Musicologist John Glen finds the tune first published by Angus Cumming in his posthumous 1780 collection (pg. 14). Little is known about Cumming, although he was a violinist and composer who resided at Grantown, in Strathspey, and who flourished in the latter 18th century. The Beggar’s Benison “was a Scottish gentlemen’s club devoted to “the convivial celebration of male sexuality”, it’s full title being “The Most Ancient and Most Puissant Order of the Beggar’s Benison and Merryland, Anstruther." It was founded in 1732 in the Fifeshire town of Anstruther on the Firth of Forth.
