0:19 Sound cue: A jazzy version of "My Bonnie Lies Over the Ocean," from which the cartoon takes its title.
0:35 Sound cue during the Scotland intro: "Loch Lomond," about as traditional a Scots song as you can get. This song is the source of the lyric "You take the high road and I'll take the low road/And I'll get to Scotland afore ye" ...
0:46 ... and here's a sign post to spell it all out in case you weren't paying attention.
0:55 Sound cue while Bugs consults his map: "California, Here I Come."
1:06 "I knew I shoulda taken that left toin at Albuquerque."
1:12 You may not realize it from the rendition, but MacRory is playing "Loch Lomond" again.
1:33 And now a funeral-dirge version of the same.
2:32 The sequence where MacRory picks up the bullet ("It's been in the family for years!") has been cut from some television airings, presumably because it implies Scotsmen are cheap.
3:03 Sound cue as Bugs deals cards: "Gotta Be This Or That."
4:19 Sound cue: "The Campbells Are Coming" - or something very much like it.
4:38 These days, in official golf rules, this situation would not happen, because MacRory would be obliged to mark the spot where his ball was and temporarily remove it so Bugs could putt in.
7:04 If MacRory is playing something identifiable here, I can't identify it.
7:12 Sound cue: A jazzy, one-man band version of "The Campbells Are Coming."

Several sources give MacRory's first name as Angus, although he is not called by a first name anywhere in the cartoon. In fact, he's not called by last name anywhere in the cartoon before Bugs says it. We won't try to figure out how he knows it.
