| '''BOB OF FETTERCAIRN, THE'''. AKA and see "[[Braw Lads o' Jethart]]," "[[Braw Lads of Jedburgh]]," "[[Come Kiss with Me]] Come Clap with Me," "[[Had I the Wight]]," "[[Highland Hills]]," "[[I'll Kiss the Lass]]," "[[I'll Kiss the Lass She Bad Me]]," "[[I'll Kiss the Wife]]," [[She Bad Me]]," "[[She Bade Me]]," "[[Kail and Knockit Corn]]" (Shetland), "[[Mrs. Reneau's Reel]]" (Canada), "[[Newburn Lads]]/[[Newburn Lasses]]." Scottish (orig.), Canadian; Reel. G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AB. Fettercairn, Aberdeenshire, is a village north of Brechin approached by a wooded valley along which MacBeth is believed to have retreated after his defeat at Dunsinane. It was the site of Kincardine Castle, whose history goes back to the 10th century. A turreted arch commemorating the 1861 visit of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert survives at the entrance to the village. A ''bob'' in Scottish dialect has several meanings, including a tassell or a patch of grass or a plot of grain, a slight blow, the best-dressed lad or lass; or, as in the context of the title "Bob of Fettercairn", a dance [http://archive.org/stream/cu31924026538813/cu31924026538813_djvu.txt].

| Alexander Laing used the term in this context in his '''Wayside Flowers''' (1878) in the verse "Willy's Weddin'" (no 113)

| ''Hey! the rant o' Tullibardine, ''<br>
| |
| ''Hey! the jig o' Ballangeich, ''<br>
| |
| ''Hey! the bob o' Fettercairn; ''<br>
| |
| ''Hey! the kindly come-agen.''<br>

| The tune is often played in Scotland in a medley with "[[Caber Feidh]]/[[Caper Fey]]." See "[[Highland Hills]]" for an early version of the melody, printed in the '''Gillespie Manuscript of Perth''' (1768).

| In Northumberland the tune has been embroidered with arpeggi and re-titled "[[Newburn Lasses]]." Lisa Ornstein finds variants in Quebec fiddler Joseph Allard's "[[Reel de Madame Renault]]," and the eastern Kentucky old-time tune "[[Dr. Humprey's Jig]]/[[Humphrey's Jig (1)]]" (in the repertoires of Jilson Setters {J.W. Day} and Ed Hayley, among others). See also the related Cape Breton reel "[[Beul Iosait]]," and the Scottish "[[A' bean an gabh thu fidhleir]]" (Woman take you the fiddler). Great Highland bagpipers sometimes play a four-part strathspey version of the tune.
