LORD EGLINTOUN'S AULD MAN. Scottish, Strathspey. D Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AB. James Hogg adapted the melody as the vehicle for a song of the same title in his Forest Minstrel (1810). It begins:
The auld guidman came hame at night
Sair wearied wi' the way;
His looks were like an evening bright,
His hair was siller grey.
He spak o' days lang past an' gane,
When life beat high in every vein;
When he was foremost on the plain
On every blithesome day.
