Tune properties and standard notation
CAPTAIN CUNINGHAM OF CORSEHILL. Scottish. Glen (1891) finds the earliest printing of the tune in John Riddell's (1782?) collection (p. 13). There were two Captain Alexander Cunninghams of Corsehill, father and son. The elder served in the army in the wars in Flanders, but changed his name to Montgomery when he succeeded to those estates (as required by the deed of entail). He died in 1770. His son also served in the army, in the Duke of Hamilton's regiment in the American Revolution, and died in 1782.
