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, but there is also a village called Yetts of Muckart in Clackmannanshire parish of Muckhart, where (according to the Gazetteer of Scotland) "A tollhouse was established here in the early 19th Century on a road used by cattle drovers and coaches." This "Yetts" reel was composed by James Stewart-Robertson, editor of The Athole Collection.
