Delvine House, Spittalfield, Perthshire, was the residence of Sir Alexander Muir MacKenzie in McGlashan's day. The Muir Mackenzie Baronetcy, of Delvine in the County of Perth, is a title in the Baronetage of the United Kingdom. It was created on 9 November 1805 for Alexander Muir Mackenzie. Born Alexander Muir, he had assumed the additional surname of Mackenzie on succeeding to the estates of his great uncle John Mackenzie, of Delvine, Perthshire, third son of Sir Kenneth Mackenzie, 1st Baronet, of Coul. Devine House was located about 7 miles from Gow's home in Dunkeld. See also O'Neill's Irish variant "Butcher's Apron (The)" and William Bradbury Ryan's (1883) "Hobble the Boutches." Cumbrian musician John Rook entered it into his 1840 music manuscript collection as "Warm Broth."
