MISS DRUMMOND OF LOGIEALMOND. AKA - "Miss Drummond of Logie Almond's Strathspey." Scottish, Strathspey. E Minor. Standard tuning (fiddle). AAB. Composed by William Shepherd (1745-1812), the tune appears in his first collection of 1793, printed in Edinburgh. In 1796 Shepherd entered in to partnership with Nathaniel Gow to form the publishing company of Gow and Shepherd. Robert Petrie printed the tune (without a composer attribution) in his 3rd collection of 1802.

Logiealmond is a settlement in Glen Almond, Perth and Kinross, on the River Almond, about eight miles northwest of Perth. The Drummond family were lairds of the estate of Logiealmond. At the time Shepherd composed his tune there were five daughters of the late John Drummond, 4th Laird (died 1781), and his wife, Lady Catherine née Murray, sister of John Murray, Earl of Dunmore. The daughters were Catharine, Anne, Francis, Mary and the youngest, Louisa, for whom the tune may have been meant. She married a Lieutenant Cecil of the Windsor Forresters^[1] in 1797.
