COUNTESS OF SEAFIELD [2], THE. Scottish, Strathspey. A Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AAB. Composed by Alexander Walker, born in Rhynie, Strathbogie, Aberdeenshire in 1819. Walker was an inventor, agriculturalist, fiddler and composer of works collected in a volume published in Aberdeen in 1866. He was employed as a gardener for Sir Charles Forbes at Castle Newe, who was also his patron. After the American Civil War, Walker emigrated to the United States, following family, and settled near Northampton, Massachusetts, where he established a prosperous farm of his own. He continued to compose music, although his American output is now lost.

Printed source: Walker (A Collection of Strathspeys, Reels, Marches, &c.), 1866; No. 17, p. 6.
