Did you know that Hurka de Monti was a musician and seems to have spent some time in Edinburgh? He is said to be the the author of "The self-taught musician:a treatise on music" (Edinburgh 1796) apparently a copy in Glasgow Univ Lib. He published other music too I think:

Fraser Harris in his book on St Cecilia's Hall mantions him on p. 275 as a performer in Edinburgh.
Hope this is useful
