History about this songs usage in the US. The artist George Catlin heard this song used as a funeral dirge after his return to Ft. Gibson from a trip on the plains. The dragoons he was traveling with all came down with an ague. He was plagued with it as well and nearly died. As he lay on his sick bed the poor souls who didn't make it were carried away while this tune was played.

So sad. So beautiful. Thank you for sharing this tune!

yes, the tune is found in the English Scottish and welsh traditions, sometimes by different names, any idea how old it is?

Harry M. Ward in his "George Washington's Enforcers" desribed "Roslin Castle" as a "Scottish Jacobite" tune and that Nathanel Greene ordered that the practice of playing the tune be stopped as too depressing to the wounded

Roslin Castle, also known as House of Glamis, is a Scottish tune and not an English tune. ( Glamis - small village in Angus, Scotland / Roslin Castle - a castle near the village of Roslin, Midlothian, Scotland. Lovely version of this tune you play here :)

@fatheroblivion45 Thanks. It seems that the tune is found in lots of places. I got the version of the tune from Dave Townsend's recording (Portrait of a Concertina), in which he mentions English sources...
Having played this tune for years, I was very happy to end up living for a while in a little village on the Isle of Wight - called Roslin!
