BLUE BELLS OF SCOTLAND [1]. AKA and see "Blue Bells," "Blue Bells of Challon." Scottish, Strathspey; English, Air and Morris Dance Tune. England; Northumberland, Cotswolds, Shropshire. G Major (Ashman, Hall & Stafford, Kerr, Mallinson): D Major (Bacon, Trim/Hardy). Standard tuning (fiddle). AB (Hall & Stafford): AAB, x6 (Mallinson): AABB (Ashman, Kerr). The composition has wide currency throughout England and Scotland in dance and song forms. It appears with regularity in fiddler's manuscripts on both sides of the Atlantic from the very beginning of the 19th century. "Blue Bells of Scotland" is often credited to the singer Mrs. Jordon (by Walker, 1924, for one), whose real name was Dorthea Bland. The Irish born actress and singer (who was also the mistress of William Duke of Clarence, later King William IV) introduced it to the stage and did much to popularize it, and she took credit for for attaching the lyric to a melody she called her own composition. This is in dispute, however, for some find it to be a derivation of the original melody. The lyrics were originally written by Ann MacVicar Grant, Mrs. Grant of Laggan, the wife of a minister who supported her family after his death with publications of her poetry.

The morris dance version is from the Adderbury, Oxfordshire, area of England's Cotswolds. Dancers sing at the beginning of the dance:

A Northumbrian version is arranged as a duet by editor W.J. Stafford in the '''Charlton Memorial Tune Book'''. The melody proved popular as an air and many songs were set to the tune. One, "John Bull and Bonapart" from the Napoleonic period, gives a sense of the British feelings of vulnerability and defiance in the face of the threat of invasion, while at the same time managing to ridicule the opponent.
