MISS LYALL [1]. AKA "Miss Lyle." AKA and see “Bonny Lassie (2),” “Cat that Kittled in Jamie's Wig (The)” (Donegal), “Faill na mBan,” “File na Mon,” “Faill na mBan,” "Mrs. Grant of Laggan’s Strathspey," “Paddy Stack's Fling,” “Panmure House.” Scottish (originally), Canadian; Strathspey. Canada; Cape Breton, Prince Edward Island. A Minor. Standard tuning (fiddle). One part (Hunter, Martin & Hughes): AB (Athole, Hall, Honeyman, Kerr, Lees, Perlman, Skye): AA’BB’ (Kennedy). Hunter (1988) states his source Angus Cameron's version is a development of a "fine old strathspey named after [novelist and poet] Mrs. Grant of Laggan (1755-1838)," and "Mrs. Grant of Laggan’s Strathspey" shares a first strain, although the second strains differ. “Miss Lyall,” strathspey and reel, are Cape Breton standards and are often played as the first and last of a set with “King George IV's Welcome” and “King's Reel (The).” In County Donegal, Ireland, the tune is set as a highland and known as “Cat that Kittled in Jamie's Wig (The).” See also the County Donegal variant “Old Cameronian (The).” Caoimhin Mac Aoidh has said that “Miss Lyall” is the basis of the reel “Mooney's Reel” or more popularly in Ireland as O’Neill’s “Paddy Ryan's Dream (1)”^[1], although Paul de Grae believes that “Miss Lyall (2)” is the source for those tunes, not “Miss Lyall (1).”
