According to the Museum curator of the College of Piping
in Glasgow, Scotland:
"I expect you know that lairds in Scotland are usually referred to by the
name of their estate. This is the case with Corriechollie. The man for whom
the tune was written was P. Cameron of Corriechollie who was a piping
enthusiast. On the cover of the Piping Times Vol 24 No 12 there is a picture
of P. Cameron, Corriechollie with John MacDougall Gillies at the Argyllshire
Gathering in about 1903. The full title of the tune is Corriechollie's 43rd
Welcome to the Northern Meeting. There is another tune similarly named- Dr
Ross's 50th Welcome to the Argyllshire Gathering- which commemorates another
enthusiast. The Argyllshire Gathering and the Northern Meeting are the two
most important piping competitions."
