"Cockleshells" is also known as "Cockle Shells", "An Gabhairín Buí", "The Bonny Lass of Livingston", "The Lass of Leving-stone", "Clashing At Her", "The High Caul Cap", "High Caul'd Cap", "Hielan Laddie" and "The Temple Change". The tune was printed under this title by Henry Playford in The Dancing Master 11th edition of 1701 and in all subsequent editions through the last (18th). "Cockleshells" was also printed by London publishers Hare and Walsh in The Compleat Country Dancing Master in editions of 1718, 1731, and 1735. It is a variant of the well-known Scottish tunes "The High Cauled Cap" and "Hielan Laddie," however, the earliest version appears to be Playford's own "The Lass Of Leving-stone", which appears in his Collection of Original Scotch Tunes (Full of the Highland Humours), published in 1700, the year before the dance and tune appeared in The English Dancing Master. This is very similar to the sea chanty "Bonny Hieland Laddie".
