'''COUNTESS OF DALKEITH'''. AKA and see "[[Highland Time]]," "[[Kinrara Strathspey (1)]]." Scottish, Strathspey. B-Flat Major. Standard tuning. AB. William Marshall (1748-1833) claimed composer credit for this tune as the "Kinrara Strathspey" which appears in his '''First Collection''' of 1781. Marshall also printed it in his '''Kinrara Collection''' under the title "[[Highland Time]]." It was re-titled by the Gows and appears in their '''Fourth Collection''' of 1800 without composer credits, which has led many to cite this as another instance of the Gows' plagiarism of others' melodies.
