Paul Cranford thinks the Cape Breton tune "[[MacKinnon's Rant]]" is related to this melody. Multi-instrumentalist John Rook (Waverton, Cumbria) entered the melody into his large 1840 music manuscript collection under the title "The Craig of Burns."

CRAIG O'/OF BARN'S, THE. Scottish; Strathspey or Highland Schottische. G Minor (Alburger, Athole, Gow): A Mixolydian (Kerr). Standard tuning (fiddle). AAB (Alburger, Athole, Gow): AABB (Kerr). The strathspey is one of the best-known compositions of Atholl gamekeeper and fiddler-composer John Crerar (1750–1840), who probably had lessons from Niel Gow at Atholl, arranged by Crerar's employer, Wikipedia:John_Murray,_4th_Duke_of_Atholl. Craig-y-barns, or A' chreag bheàrnach, is a range of rugged heights near Dunkeld, Perthshire, located (as Crerar researcher Eilidh Scammell remarks) directly behind Crerar's own house at Pulney. Scammell points out the the Craig is now a wooded area, but in Crerar's day it was quite barren, with the crags prominent[1]

Paul Cranford thinks the Cape Breton tune "MacKinnon's Rant" is related to this melody. Multi-instrumentalist John Rook (Waverton, Cumbria) entered the melody into his large 1840 music manuscript collection under the title "The Craig of Burns."
