<p><font face="sans-serif" size="4"> '''CROUGHLY'''. Scottish, Strathspey. D Minor. Standard tuning. AAB. Composed by William Marshall (1748-1833). Croughly is an old farmhouse with parts that date from 1560, with later additions in 1760; it is a farmhouse to the present day, although combined with a bed and breakfast lodging. Moyra Cowie ('''The Life and Times of William Marshall''', 1999) says the house was occupied in Marshall's day by James Gordon of Croughly (1726-1812). He had six sons and fourteen grandsons who entered military service, serving through the Victorian era, one, William Alexander Gordon (1769-1856) attaining the rank of Major General. <br> <br> Croughly was the site of an illicit still, Cowie continues, the ancestor of the famous Glenlivet Label. The still became a distillery founded by Robert Gordon at Knoc of Croughly, who, after a dispute with the duke's factor in 1843 moved the enterprise to Delnabo near Tomintoul, and finally to Minmore. <br> <br> ''Printed sources:'' Marshall, '''Fiddlecase Edition''', 1978; '''1822 Collection''', p. 54.
