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 London publisher David Rutherford's Rutherford's Compleat Collection of 200 of the Most Celebrated Country Dances (1756, p. 17). Edinburgh musician John Watlen, however, attributed it to "Dr. Harrington of Bath" in his 1791 Celebrated Circus Tunes.

The melody also appears in Johnson's Scots Musical Museum, Book 4 (1792, No. 332).
