'''CUDDIE CLAUDER.''' AKA and see "Cuddy Claw'd Her." Scottish, English; Jig. England, Northumberland. E Flat Major (Gow): G Major (Bruce & Stokoe, Peacock). Standard tuning (fiddle). AB. "Old" remarks Gow, in the '''Sixth Collection''' (1822), and indeed, it appears in James Oswald's''' Caledonian Pocket Companion''' (London, 1760). It is a popular tune for variation sets by Northumbrian pipers, however, it does not appear to be originally a piping tune. John Stokoe cites a music manuscript copybook collection by one John Smith, dated 1752, whom Stokoe believed was a fiddler after examining the notation. Smith was also evidently from Northumberland, as the ms. contained a number of titles associated with Northumberland, including "Cuddy Clauder" (see '''Monthly chronicle of north-country lore and legend''', p. 379 [http://books.google.com/books?id=09AGAAAAYAAJ&pg=PA379&lpg=PA379&dq=%22Cuddy+Clauder%22&source=bl&ots=_lgKjnOlJ8&sig=fFR5MT93chWgIS1kUfJNS7s_WCc&hl=en&ei=rQReTPahNML98AbX_Pm3DQ&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=9&ved=0CDoQ6AEwCA#v=onepage&q=%22Cuddy%20Clauder%22&f=false]).

"Cuddy Clauder" or "Cuddy Claw'd Her" was also a song, printed in Oswald's '''Caledonian Pocket Companion''', vol. 5 (c. 1755). This stanza was printed in Sir Walter Scott's '''A Ballad Book''' :
<blockquote>
''Jenny lup ower the dyke''<br>
''Cuddy bade her,''<br>

''Cuddy claw'd her.''<br>
