CHRONOLOGICAL LIST OF " HIGHLAND LADDIES." 243
No. 21 in the Museum is a version of " The Highland Laddie " taken
from Oswald's " Curious Scots Tunes," 1742. Other settings, which differ
slightly from one another, appear in " The Orpheus Caledonius," 1725, and
in Watts's " Musical Miscellany," 1729.
The next tune is a version of the melody " Highland Laddie," which
appears as No. 468 in the Museum. In Oswald's " Curious Scots Tunes,"
it follows the preceding air, without any title. In later collections it is
called " The Black Highland Laddie."
" Bonie laddie Highland laddie," No. 332 of the Museum, occurs in
D. Eutherford's " Twenty-four Country Dances," published in 1749 under
the name of "The New Highland Laddy." It is now better known as
" Kate Dalrymple."
No 22 of the Museum, called '"Highland Laddie' New Sett," is a
composition of Dr Arne published in 1754, an excellent melody, also
known as " The New Highland Laddie.'
