Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. Jenny Cameron is a common enough name, though the title may perhaps refer to Jenny Cameron of Glendessary, who not only raised some 300 men for Bonnie Prince Charlie, but led them to the raising of the Jacobite standard on August 19th, 1745. Despite the fierce pose in the English propaganda picture below, she did not take part in any fighting.
