-The 'Countess of Louden' (spellings vary) title for the tune was used by multi-instrumentalist John Rook (Waverton, Cumbria) in his large 1840 music manuscript collection, and also in William Bradbury Ryan's '''Mammoth Collection''' (1883), a publication of the Boston-based Elias Howe firm.
-British titles did not always transfer intact to the Howe publications, and although there was a Countess of Lothian and a Countess of Loudoun, it may be that the 'Louden' [sic] title is simply a miss-hearing of 'Lothian' (as it appears in Aird's 1797 publication).
