DUNCAN MACQUEEN (Donnacha Mac Shuine). Scottish, Slow Strathspey. A Minor. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABCD (Athole): AABCCDD (Fraser). "This perhaps, will be as popular a melody as any in this volume. The only words the editor ever heard to it were from his father,--from whom he first heard the second and third parts. The first and last parts have been long communicated by Mr. Gow, and as long admired,--and he is good enough to say it loses none of its character, but much the reverse, as now presented" (Fraser). The melody was entered by multi-instrumentalist John Rook of Wigton, Cumbria, in his 1840 music manuscript collection.
