SCDDB originally attributed this tune to <<ddp:Duff, Charles#1928>> but Finlay Forbes in <<https://my.strathspey.org/dd/issue/3710/|issue 3710>> reports that this is wrong and it should most likely be John MacDonald (Dancing Master of Dundee).

However SCDDB has several Person entries for John or J MacDonald (see <<https://my.strathspey.org/dd/issue/3143/|issue 3143>>) and it is not yet clear which one is the appropriate one who should be assigned this tune.
