In issue 1329 (http://my.strathspey.org/dd/issue/1329/) Finlay Forbes describes Surenne as a collector rather than a composer.

A collection of tunes from John Surenne is available for free download (with optional donation) from the <<ddp:Highland Music Trust#10707>> via <<https://www.highlandmusictrust.org/the-surenne-collection>>. The introduction on that page implies that Surenne was a composer as well as a collector.
