'''MR. GUN MUNRO OF POYNTZ-FIELD'''. Scottish, Reel. C Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AAB. Poyntzfield House, Resolie Parish, County Cromarty, was the manor of the Munro family and takes its name from Charlotte Poyntz, the wife of the first George Gun Munro, for whom it was built. Formerly the estate was called Ardoch (The High Place). The title of the tune may refer to Sir George Gun Munro (1788-18), who was the son of Colonel Innes Munro and grandson of Sir George Gun Munro (Charolotte’s husband). The younger George Gun Munro served for many years in the army in India, and, in 1822 married Jamima Charlotte Gramham, daughter of Colonel Colin Dundas Graham. Later he was a major in the Ross-shire militia. Munro received his knighthood around 1842, which means the tune was composed prior. The couple had at least one child, for notice in print gives that a daughter was born in 1824, followed by another notice which gives that she wed at Poyntzfield House in 1849.
