BEN LOMOND. Scottish; Strathspey. D Major/Mixolydian. Standard tuning (fiddle). AB (Surenne): AAB (Athole, Gow, Skye): AABB' (Kerr). The Gaelic word ben means mountain or hill, while Lomond is derived from the Gaelic term for beacon. Ben Lomond is a peak 3,192 ft. high, of south-central Scotland on the eastern shore of Loch Lomond. It is mentioned in the poet Robert Tannahill's piece "Jessie the Flower of Dunblane," which begins:
The sun has gane down o'er the lofty Ben Lomond,
And left the red clouds to reside o'er the scene;
While lanely I stray in the calm simmer gloamin',
To muse on sweet Jessie, the flow'r o' Dunblane.
