CUTTYMUN/CUTTYMAN AND TRE(E)LADLE. AKA and see "Bedding of the Bride." Scottish, Reel. A Mixolydian. Standard tuning (fiddle). AB (Surenne): AAB (Athole, Gow, Kerr): AABB (Honeyman). Gow gives in Part Second of the Complete Repository of Original Scots Tunes (c. 1802, 1810-1820) that "This is the tune mentioned in the old Poem entitled Christ's Kirk on the Green, Canto 2nd, line 96." John Mactaggart's Scottish Gallovidian Encyclopedia (1824), gives:

MUNN--An old person with a very little face; see 'Cuttymun', and, since
writing that article, 'Cuttymuns and three Laddles', have come into my head;
so this phrase may seem to say, that 'Cuttymun' is a short-shaked spoon.
