'''BANKS OF ALLAN, THE'''. AKA and see "[[Bog of Allan (3)]]]." AKA - "Banks of the Allan (Water)." Scottish, Country Dance Tune (6/8) or Jig. D Major. Standard tuning. ABB (Sharp): AABB (Gow, Karpeles, Kerr, Raven). The river Allan is a tributary of the Forth of Firth that flows through Perthshire and Stirlingshire before it empties into the Forth near Bridge of Allan. The Scots poet Robert Burns wrote a love song (appearing in Thomson's '''Scottish Airs''') to the tune "Allan Water" that begins:
<br>
<br>
''By Allan-side I chanc'd to rove,''<br>
''While Phoebus sank beyond Benledi;''<br>
''The winds were whispering thro' the grove,''<br>
''The yellow corn was waving ready....''<br>
<br>
"This tune is also suitable as an accompaniment to Rapper Sword Dance" (Karpeles). See also the Irish variants "[[Bog of Allan (3)]]" and "[[Tailor's Thimble (1) (The)]]." An early version was published in 1799 by Thomas Calvert, a musician from Kelso, Scotland (see abc below). A note with his collection states that Calvert supplied "a variety of music and instruments, instruments lent out, tun'd and repaired." Source for notated version: the tune was popularized in the mid-1980's in the Portland, Oregon, dance community by accordion player Dennis Rothrock, then with the band Fiddle Head Rock; Rothrock learned it from the Battlefield band recording [Songer].
