The external link added states that the music is by Alexander Hume, but I'm not sure, as he was a poet. Can anyone confirm this? —Carlos Email.gif 16:37, 30 April 2010 (UTC)

Alexander Hume was a Scottish poet, not a composer. The original music is by Jonathan E. Spilman (1812-1896). See facsimile edition and historical marker. The melody or a variant is sometimes called "Afton Water" (the original title of the Burns poem), and the variant has been used as a tune for the Christmas carol "Away in a manger".
