• This air is to be found in Bremner's Scots Reels, 1757, as " My ain kind Dearie " ; and also in Bt. III. of Oswald's Caledonian PocTcet
Companion, 1761. Later on, the tune seems to have become known as '• The Lee Rigg," from some old verses sung to it, beginning, " Will ye
gang owre the Lee-rig, my ain kind dearie, O?" In Angus Cumming's Collection of Strathspeys, 1780, it is given as, "The Wedding; or,
San Rire va Vannich," and in Aird's Selection of Scotch, etc.. Airs, vol. i.. 1 782, as " The Lee Rigg." A tune occurs in Gow's Second Collection of
Strathspey Heels, 1788, which the author of that work names " Old Lee Rigg, or Rose Tree," but it is entirely difl'erent from " My ain kind.
, dearie." Burns' poem was written in 1792 for Thomson's Collection. '
