Back to Moggy on the Shore

MOGGY ON THE SHORE. Scottish, Reel. D Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AA'BB'. Moggy, as used in Britain, has referred to a common domesticated cat (of mixed ancestry, as most cats are), a mouse, a calf or cow and, in the 19th century, an untidily dressed woman or slattern (e.g. "She did look a moggy"). It seems to be a form of the name 'Maggie', the short form of Margaret.
