Notes

"Croanick" must be Gaelic "coronach", lament. Not published by McGlashan himself. Presumably it was originally in D for the fiddle. The most similar codes in Gore's Scottish Fiddle Music Index are for "Caidil gu Lo" (Patrick McDonald, 1784) and "Sleep on Till Day" (Beauties of Niel Gow volume 2). It seems vaguely related to "Lochaber No More". The six-quaver groups are beamed together in the MS.
