The FARNE site records that the title "I''ll gang Nae Mair to Yon Town" is the one most commonly employed, although with many variants. FARNE also concludes that the version printed by Peocock is entirely compatable with 8-note smallpipe playing, and that it appears to be the basis for the Clough family variation set.

Nevertheless, the trill signs have been subsituted with the inverted mordent. This ornament is sometimes called a transient shake because it is really only a part of the more elaborate grace known as the "perfect trill"'.[K.W.Gehrkens]
