MRS. RAMSAY OF BARNTON [2]. AKA and see “Riding on a Load of Hay.” Scottish, Strathspey. E Dorian. Standard tuning (fiddle). AB (Stewart-Robertson): AAB (Kerr). Similar in many ways to "Belladrum's Strathspey." The melody appears as a polka in Frank Roche's Collection of Traditional Irish Music, vol. 2 (1912) as "Riding on a Load of Hay". See also the Cape Breton/P.E.I. tune "Charlie's Brother" AKA "Little Jack's Reel," which has 'borrowed' the first stain of "Mrs. Ramsay."
