AB (Hardie): AAB (Fraser): AA'B (Howe): AABB (Alburger). Composed by Captain biography:Simon Fraser. This tune "is merely Niel Gow's sprightly style imitated by the editor, in which his friends are pleased to say he has made a happy effort" (Fraser). Perhaps not—Collinson (1966) calls the tune a "rather poor parody" of its inspirer. David Baptie (Musical Scotland, 1894) notes that Mr. Troup of Ballater, whom he reckoned an arbiter of Scottish traditional music, listed it among the best of the strathspeys in Fraser’s collection.
