I agree with Julia on the idiosyncratic nature of the Kielder Jock ms.
   Note that the title and composer have been supplied by another hand.
   The version of Barrington is one musician's rendering, and valuable as
   such, but I don't think it improves on the 'original', which is what
   the Fenwick Tutor version appears to be. The other tunes Fenwick
   included show him - imho - to be in touch with the core repertoire of
   the smallpiping tradition, presumably from the best players of the
   time, e.g. his Holey Ha'penny is the Clough version, simplified but
   with all the essentials. --
