„The Campbells Are Coming“ ... is a Scottish song associated with Clan Campbell. The tune, a traditional Scottish air, is similar to The Town of Inveraray (Scottish Gaelic: Baile Ionaraora) (I was at a wedding in the town of Inveraray) The song was definitely extant by 1745 and perhaps much earlier. The song is commonly attributed to Robert Burns, like many Scottish songs which are actually traditional or of unknown origin. Burns did write a version with some different verses, which he published in the Scots Musical Museum, a collection of Scottish folk songs (and some new songs) published between 1787 and 1803. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Campbells_Are_Coming Swiss music box Junod No. 8211
