Cauld Kail in Aberdeen Kail-castocks in Strahbogie - Bagpipe humour
Comments
Different hand (probably George Skene). Long set of pipe variations. 2 strain tune + 4 variations. The letters "gr" [gatherings] are used to indicate an ornament (Like GeorgeSkene 37). After the end of the variations there are two additional systems, with text above each: "A way in stead of the gatherings in the second measure" "Anoyt [another] way of the 2d measure wt gatherings". See McGregor 2020 on the meaning of the term "gathering" in this context.

Chisholm’s Rant
Comments
Very strathspey-like, and in fact later published by Niel Gow as the strathspey "The Duke of Athole's Delight". Whilst the tune has been credited variously to Gow and to Joseph Reinagle (1760-1825), its appearance here suggests the tune is far older. Another title below the first stave has been rubbed out, something like ‘Caskleas Rant’. Concordances (other): Gow1, pp. 34-5.

Gou’d on your Gartens Marion
Comments
Title takes its name from the beginning of the second verse of the vernacular ballad "Will ye go to the ewe-buchts, Marion". A different script begins here, in this case with some very Italianate ornamentation in strain 1 bar 6. Phrase lengths of 6 bars.

Jig
Comments
Long set of variations (no double barlines). 3 bar phrases [ie slip jig 9/8 feel]. The tune is related to "The Souters of Selkirk". The title "Jig" seems to be a far later hand.

Limerick's Lament
Comments
The title "Limerick's Lament" seems to be in a far later hand. In Scotland this tune was known as "Lochaber" or "Lochaber No More", and was most famous for the words written by Allan Ramsay in the 1720s. This is a very ornate setting.

Malcome Kaird’s Come Again _ Bagpipe way
Comments
Long set of pipe variations. Number of bars in each strain is irregular ( 4/8/4/4/4/4/4/8/12). Lots of pipe-style ornaments, including birls and the ornament sign 'gr' [gatherings]. See GeorgeSkene 45.

Minuet

Possibly intended to have 4 sharps in the key signature, as there are natural sign accidentals on most of the ‘d’s, and yet the only one that might be a d# - at the cadence of the first half - has no marking.

This is the tune "Oswald's Bass Minuet", first published and presumably composed by James Oswald (1710-1769) in 1736, which would seem to date this part of the manuscript to the later 1730s.

Lasses gar your Tails Todle
Comments
Underneath the first two systems are given what appears to be the opening lyrics to the song: "Lasses gar your Tails Todle; spread your houghs bat in the Dodle, that will gar your Tails Todle". There are both lots of ornaments and instructions on different ways to perform the tune. Above the first system is written "This only to be play'd the first time"; and at the end of the setting there are two additional strains (ie st 4-5) with the instruction "or this for a first strains wt the last when Danc'd".

The Duke of Lenoxe Portt
Comments
Possibly written for the Duke of Lennox - favourite of James VI/I. He had a harper in his retinue named David Callinder. [See Chelys 18 pp44-5]. This setting is very similar to Balcarres, though there are bits of extra division in given here. At strain 2 bb 11-12 there is a division into semi-quavers, with a simpler option given beneath the stave. Concordances (other): "The dukes Port. mr Becks way", Balcarres p. 35 no 67 - also in John Bowie collection.

Wat ye what I got late yest'reen - Bagpipe set
Comments
Long set of pipe-style variations. Strain 5 is twice as long as the other strains. There are what look like pipe-style cuttings in strain 6. This does not appear to be related to the similarly titled tune "Wat ye wha I met yestreen", as printed in Stuart Musick, p. 122.
