Sixteenth and seventeenth century country dance tunes sometimes had the word "maggot" in their titles, perhaps derived from Italian ''Maggiolatta'' or Italian May song, but used in England to mean a whim, fancy, plaything, 'trifle'--essentially an 'earworm'<ref>Emmerson (1972) states that maggot derives from the Italian ''maggioletta'', which he translates as a 'plaything', but what his source is for this translation is unknown.</ref>.  
The earliest record of this tune in more or less modern form is as a rant entitled "Tullochgorum" in Edinburgh writing master and amateur violinist David Young's Drummond Castle Manuscript, Part 2 (1734, No. 3).  


A ''maggot'' was also another name for a dram, a small unit of liquid measure. This anonymous melody dates to 1695, when it first appeared in Playford's '''Dancing Master''', 9th edition. The dance and tune were retained in the long running series through the 18th and last volume, then published by John Young, heir to the Playford publishing concern. It also was included by the Walsh's (father and son) in their '''Compleat Country Dancing Master''', editions of 1718, 1735 and 1754. For more on Isaac see Jennifer Thorp's article "Mr. Isaac, Dancing-Master" in '''Dance Research''' - Volume 24, Number 2, Winter 2006, pp. 117-137, where, for example, she gives:

The earliest record of this tune in more or less modern form is as a rant entitled "Tullochgorum" in Edinburgh writing master and amateur violinist David Young's Drummond Castle Manuscript, Part 2 (1734, No. 3).

It is also found in the James Gillespie Manuscript of Perth (1768). These early versions show little of the later strathspey rhythm, at least as noted, and appear as rants. However, in Robert Bremner's 1757 collection (2nd part, p. 16) it is set as a strathspey.

Tullochgorm is also the name of a Scottish dance of twelve steps, and was one of several taught by Cape Breton fiddler Donald "the Tailor" Beaton of South West Margaree (who was an itinerant tailor).

Lore surrounding the dance says that the movements are supposed to relate to the small hills or knolls that lookouts stood upon, looking for the foes of Bonnie Prince Charlie. Supposedly they performed the dance while on duty, so as not to look suspicious.

One dance teacher (Fearchar MacMeil of Barra) said the Green Knoll was where Bonnie Prince Charlie and Flora MacDonald said farewell. There is no evidence to suppose that any of this is actually true; rather it smacks of Highland romanticism.
