Back to Yetts of Muckart (1) (The)
YETTS OF MUCKART [1], THE. Scottish (originally), Canadian; Reel. Canada; Prince Edward Island, Cape Breton. A Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AAB (Athole, Little, Perlman, Shears, Skye): AABB' (Kerr). The word yett is an Old English variation of 'gate', and when applied geographically means a pass running between hills. The Yetts of Muckart are located in the Ochil Hills. This "Yetts" reel was composed by James Stewart-Robertson, editor of The Athole Collection. Cape Breton fiddlers made sound recordings of the tune relatively early: Angus Allan Gillis cut it in 1935 on 78 RPM (paired with “Miller of Drone (The)”).
