GIGUE ÉCOSSAISE (Scottish Jig). French-Canadian, Reel (cut time). D Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. Although identified in the title as a 'Scottish' tune, Soucy researcher Jean Duval finds that it is instead a derivative of an Irish reel variously called "<incipit title="load:hill" width=850 link="https://tunearch.org/wiki/Over the Hill">Over the Hill</incipit>", "Miss Lyon's Fancy" and other titles[1]. He observes that there was often confusion in former times between Ireland and Scotland in Quebec, perhaps due to the fact that many immigrants were Ulster Irish, sometimes called 'Scots-Irish' i.e. Scottish immigrants to northern Ireland who had retained much of Scottish culture.
