Other composers represented include Pinel (allemande, folio 33) and Dubut le père (courante, folio 54).

Most of the material for MS.3110: 'Collection of Ancient Piobaireachd Music...', in rough form, with jottings of some reels and marches, one or two tunes from Angus Mackay's ‘Collection of ancient Piobaireachd’, and one, apparently, from the Ballindalloch Manuscript., 1882, undated.
Several tunes are given under names other than those which they usually bear. At folio 1 is a circular letter, undated, of Donald Stuart Macdonald, from Malta, announcing his intention of continuing Angus Mackay's publication.
Music book containing Scottish dance tunes (very largely reels and strathspeys) for violin.
The music book is gold-stamped 'violin' on the front cover.
Many of the tunes appear to be of late eighteenth- or early nineteenth-century provenance. The volume appears to have been compiled in the mid nineteenth century (cf., for example, folios 41, 47).
The leaves of the volume exhibit much handling, but the identity of the compiler is unknown. The volume is thought to have had a possible Perthshire provenance.
