Unfortunately, we don't know when her birthday is, as records do not specify a date and even the year of her birth is a 'circa'. She married Sir Robert Sinclair in 1789. Her second husband was named Charles Fyshe Palmer (See note for "[[Annotation:Lady Madelina Sinclair]]" for more), which dates the tune to the period between 1789 and 1805, when she remarried. The title pf the reel was updated to "Lady Madeline Palmer's Birth Day" in John Anderson's '''Anderson's Budget of Strathspeys, Reels & Country Dances''', printed in Edinburgh around 1820, to reflect her surname change due to her remarriage. | '''LADY MADELINA SINCLAIR'S BIRTHDAY'''.
