* Mr. Patrick Bnchan's note to tliis song is the following : " Tliis inimitable song belongs to the 'North Countrie.' The Author was
George Halket, Schoolmaster, for some time, at Eathen, and the author of ' Whirry Whigs awa,' man,' with several other esteemed Jacobite
songs. lie was a Jacobite out and out, so much so, ttiat when the Duke of Cumberl.and was in the North, he offered a reward of one hundred-
guineas for his head, either dead or alive — so much offence had the effusions of liis muse given to the then reigning powers. The hero of the
piece was James Robertson, gardener at Logie, parish of Crimond, Aberdeenshire."— C<?o''Iand of Scotia, 1841.J
