MISS STEWART OF GRANTULLY [2]. AKA and see "Balmoral Castle (4)." Scottish, Reel. A Mixolydian. Standard tuning (fiddle). AAB. Composed by Dunkeld fiddler-composer Niel Gow (1727-1807). Not the "Miss Stewart's Reel" in Skye Collection composed by Duncan McIntyre. The ‘A’ parts are the ones particularly shared (i.e. nearly identical) with “Green Groves of Erin (1)” and “Padai Bhilli.” The tune is a reel-time version of Gow’s “Miss Stewart of Grantully (1) Strathspey,” and perhaps refers to Clementina or Grizel Stewart, daughters of Sir John Stewart, 4th Bart of Grandtully (d. 1797) and his wife Clementina Stewart (daughter of Charles Stewart of Ballechin), whom he married in 1797. Grizel became a minister’s wife, while Clementina (born around 1759) married in 1782 Alexander Moray, 14th of Abercairny. See also related pipe tune "Our Lads are Nice," and ship's fiddler William LItten's "Miss Man's Reel.
