The tune may be a variant of “Dumbarton’s Drums,” the oldest tune still in use for a regimental review by an inspecting officer. This tune is associated especially with the Royal Scots, a regiment first raised in 1633; they had just been designated 1st Regiment of Foot in 1751, having seen many campaigns in the War of the Spanish Succession and other theaters of war.
