MISS ROSS [2]. AKA and see "Burn o' Cairnie." Scottish, Slow Strathspey (whole time). B Flat Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AAB (Athole, Gow): AABB' (Kerr). The strathspey has been credited to Inver, Perthshire, fiddle-composer wikipedia:Niel_Gow (1727-1807). However, as Fr. John Quinn finds, the tune is substantially that of the reel "Burn o' Cairnie/Craigie," printed by Robert Bremner more than forty years prior to the Gows' Fourth Collection of 1800. The first strains correspond closely, while the second strains are similar in structure, melodic contour and harmonic progression but have some melodic differences. It seems likely Gow was "substantially informed" by the earlier "Burn o' Crairnie", at best. See also Robert Ross's similar "Miss Jenny Wedderburn."
