The Garb of Old Gaul
''The Garb of Old Gaul'' (sometimes given as "Auld Gaul") is an 18th-century patriotic Scottish march and song about Highland soldiers during the Seven Years' War.
==Origins==
The music was written by General John Reid, who was a senior officer of the 42nd Regiment of Foot (The Black Watch) during the Seven Years' War. The words have traditionally been attributed to Sir Harry Erskine (1710 -1765). Robert Burns described it as "This excellent loyal Scottish song" and states that it first appeared in print in Herd's Collection of 1769. Alternative titles include ''The Highland Character'' and ''The Highland or 42nd Regiment's March''.〔(Robert Burns, Stephen Clarke, William Stenhouse, David Laing and Charles Kirkpatrick; The Scottish Musical Museum: consisting of upwards of six hundred songs, William Blackwood & Sons, Edinburgh 1839 )〕 The tune was originally a quick march but was later rearranged as a slow march.〔(The Traditional Tune Archive: Annotation to Garb of Old Gaul (The) )〕
