-'''MISS JOHNSTON('S) [1]''' (Iníon Mhic Eoin). AKA and see “[[Belvidere Hornpipe]],” “[[Cow that Ate the Blanket (2)]],” “[[Fifer's Reel (The)]],” “[[Miss Johnson of Houghton Hall]],” "[[Muster Bank (The)]]," “[[Munster Bank (2)]],” "[[Mountainy Man (The)]]," “[[Reedy Johnson’s]],” "[[Rock the Cradle]]." AKA – “Miss Johnson’s.” Scottish (originally), Irish; Reel. G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AB (Breathnach, Cole, O’Neill, Roche, Taylor): AAB (Alexander, Athole, Balmoral, Gow, Kennedy, Kerr): AABB (Cranford/Holland). Scottish sources, which predate Irish ones, credit composition to a “Mrs. Robertson,” and indeed, the melody was printed by Gow and Shepherd in 1802 as “[[Miss Johnston of Huttonhall’s Reel]]" (elsewhere printed under the variant spellings [[Miss Johnson of Houghton Hall]]) attributed to Mrs. Robertson of Ladykirk (for whom see John Gow’s composition “[[Mrs. Robertson of Ladykirk’s Favorite]].” Versions of this tune seem to vary greatly, often with melodic differences or with parts reversed, even within the same tradition (it is popular in Scottish, Irish, and Cape Breton traditions). As “[[Miss Johnson of Houghton Hall]]” it is in Goulding & Co.’s '''Select Collection of Country Dances for the Pianoforte''' (c. 1807). Breathnach (1976) finds a related reel in “[[Humors of Priesthouse]],” and notes it was called “[[Mountainy Man (The)]]” by Pádraig O’Loughlin of Miltown Malbay, County Clare.  P.W. Joyce's County Limerick collected "[[Fifer's Reel (The)]]" is a version.
