* Bums wrote these celebrated verses on 1st Aufrust, 1793. In a letter to George Thomson, the poet writes : " There is a tradition wliich
T have met with in many places of Scotland, that it (' Hey, tutti tatti') was Robert Brnce's march at the Battle of Bannockbum." Little
importance can be attached to a tradition of this description. In the earlier part of last century the air w.is sung to Jacobite verses,
beginning, " Here's to the King, Sirs." It w,ts to " Hey, tutti tatti " sung slow ly, that Lady Nairne wrote her beautiful song, " The Land o'
the Leal." (See p. 86.) M'Gibbon prints the air in his Scots Times, Bk. III., 1755, as " Hey Tuti tatety."
