However, Holland mis-remembered hearing it from Carroll. The tune must have remained dormant in his subconsious, but when it emerged the Inverness fiddler believed it to be his own composition. In the original edition of the Cranford/Holland publication it was given the name "Ross Kennedy" and attributed to Holland. Later the mistake was realized and corrected.
