LADY JEAN LINDSAY'S MINUET. Scottish, Minuet (3/4 time). F Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AA'BB'. Composed by Daniel Dow (1732-83) of Perthshire and Edinburgh. The tune first appeared in the (James) Gillespie Manuscript of Perth (1768) as "A New Minuet," and he must have later selected a patron, for it appears under the "Lady Jean" title in his 1773 collection.
Lady Jean Lindsay was the daughter of 19th Earl of Crawfurd, and was the first wife of Hugh Montgomerie, whom she married in 1772 at the age of 16. Unfortunately, she died young in 1778, childless.
