I LOO'D A BONNY LADY. Scottish, Air (6/8 time). D Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AB. "I loo'd a bonny lady" was printed in Alexander Stuart's Musick for Allan Ramsay’s Collection of Scots Songs, part 3 (Edinburgh, c. 1724), a collection of instrumental airs meant to accompany songs in poet Allan Ramsay's Tea Table Miscellany (Edinburgh, 1724), which was initially published without music. Ramsay used the melody as the indicated tune for his "A Song" (p. 340[1], beginning "Tell me, tell me, charming creature, Will you never ease my pain?"), which points to the air being reasonably well-known prior to the publication of the 'Miscellany'.
