Tune properties and standard notation
MR. HUNTER. Scottish, Reel. E Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AB. Composed by Alexander Walker for Mr. Hunter of Fife Arms Inn, Braemar. The Fife Arms Inn, of Castletown, Braemar, had a post office and was a hub of social activity. The Sporting Magazine of 1823 (p. 99), for example, gives an account of a hunting party to the Earl of Fife's hunting seat at Mar Lodge:
In the course of the week, Lord Kennedy and Mr. Farquharson killed several very fine red deer; and on Friday evening a grand ball was given by the latter at the Fife Arms Inn.
