| Item Description | From William McGibbon's (see JSS0552) Third Collection (1755). By the title someone has written 'Clout the Cauldron', the title still used today. Skinner included the tune in the Harp and Claymore, as 'communicated by William Forbes, Newark, Ellon'. The traditional title shows that McGibbon's title is a misprint, and should read 'The Tinkars [Tinkers] Occupation'. A tinker would mend a cauldron by clouting (hitting) it. |
