KILRACK'S REEL. AKA and see "Kelvarock's Strathspey." AKA - "Killravock's," "Kilravock's Reel (1)." Scottish, Strathspey. A Major (McGlashan): G Major (Cranford/Holland). Standard or AEae tuning (fiddle). AAB. John Glen (1891) finds the earliest printing of the tune in Alexander McGlashan's 1780 collection and Angus Cumming's 1778 collection (p. 17). It is traditionally played in scordatura tuning, AEae. The title is a variation of Kilravock, pronounced 'kill-rake', a name that derives from the Gaelic prefix kil, meaning a church, coupled with an individual's name. Kilravock Castle (pronounced 'kill-rake') dates from the 15th century and lies near Inverness and Nairn in the Scottish Highlands, not far from Cawdor Castle. It was for 25 generations the seat of the Rose clan. Sir Hugh Rose entertained Bonnie Prince Charlie at the castle with a violin rendition of an Italian minuet during the Rising of 1745.
