"This air celebrates the foundation-stone of Inverness, if it may be so termed, which is still religiously preserved near the cross,--it belongs to the armorial bearing of the town,-- is engraven upon its seal,-- and is the universal toast when drinking the health or prosperity of its community. It was formerly the resting place of the servant girls, in bringing their water-pails from the river,--of course a celebrated rendezvous for obtaining all the news and scandal imaginable" (Fraser). The melody is thought to possibly have been written by Fraser himself.
