The Cameronian Rant

From the Cape Breton Violin album. Appears in the Athole Collection. Who wrote it?

Re: The Cameronian Rant

According to James Scott Skinner, it was composed by a Rory MacLeod, and has the alternative name of "Black Water". Another title associated with this tune is "Buail na Bodich a’ Culodair" (Beat the Red Coats at Culloden). I feel it’s related to both versions of "The Cameronian Reel" (https://thesession.org/tunes/284 and https://thesession.org/tunes/17551).
