About Ferintosh, Simon Fraser wrote: "This air celebrates the district of Ferintosh, so famous for the production of the genuine Highland beverage, called whisky." Irvin Stiple (Irvine Steeple) comes from Robert Bremner's first collection (c. 1751-61). Neil Stewart published
it under the title "Indernytie's Rant" in 1762. John Howat's Reel is one of a number of tunes in Kerr's Collection of Merry Melodies (published from 1875 on) composed by Hugh Dunlop.
