NEW HIGHLAND LADDIE [1]. AKA and see "Highland Laddie (4)," "Jinglin' Johnnie," "Kate Dalrymple." Scottish, English; Reel. England, Northumberland. A Major (Watlen): G Major (Aird, Bruce & Stokoe). Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. The tune appears in its earliest form in the lute manuscripts of the early 17th century such as the Skene (c. 1615-20) and Rowallan (c. 1612-28). It also was included in the [James] Gillespie Manuscript of Perth (1768). Edinburgh musician John Watlen, however, attributed it to "Dr. Harrington of Bath" in his 1791 Celebrated Circus Tunes.
