N: Atholl (Athole) is a District in Perthshire. The Name is probably derived from gaelic
N: "ath Fodla" (="New Ireland"). The Tune is dedicated to the private army of the Duke 
N: of Atholl, the last private army still legally existing. The original Athole Highlanders 
N: (and the ones associated with the tune) were the old 77th Highland Regiment, raised in 
N: 1778 and commanded by Colonel James Murray. (source: Andrew Kuntz, fiddler's companion)
