"Miss Ogilvie of Islabank's Reel" was printed on a single-sheet issue by Edinburgh music publisher and music seller Niel Stewart, who had a shop at No. 37 South Bridge.

She married Peter Wedderburn in April, 1811, who had served the family firm of Wedderburn & Co. as captain of the Arniston, a ship belonging to his cousin John Wedderburn of Spring Garden and involved in the West India trade. In 1797 he entered the sea service of the East India Company, making 6 voyages (including 2 as commander). He retired from the Company's service in 1810.
