Back to Maids of Kintail
MAIDS OF KINTAIL. AKA and see "Annie MacNab," "Boc Liath Nan Gobhar," "Drive the Cows Home," "Gille Dubh Sugach (An)," "Grey Buck (The)," "Gray Buck (1) (The)," "Lass of Kintail (The)," "Merry Black Lad (The)." Scottish, Pipe March (6/8 time). A Mixolydian. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB'. The melody also appears under titles "Amorous Black-haired Lad (The)" and "Dean cadal 's fan samhach, a chuilean a run" (Go sleep and rest easy, my darling my dear), It was apparently based on a Gaelic song, possibly the latter title, although the song appears to be lost. There is a range of mountains in the Kintail region (Northwest Highlands) of Scotland called the Five Sisters of Kintail and it is possible the 'Maids' alludes to them. Although the tune appears to post-song use as a march, it is also played as a jig.
