'''COLONEL FARQUHARSON OF INVERCAULD'''. Scottish, Strathspey. D Minor. Standard tuning. AAB. Composed by Alexander Walker, born in Rhynie, Strathbogie, Aberdeenshire in 1819. Walker was an inventor (of surveying instruments, for example), agriculturalist, fiddler and composer of works collected in a volume published in Aberdeen in 1866. He was employed as a gardener for Sir Charles Forbes at Castle Newe, who was also his patron. After the American Civil War, Walker emigrated to the United States, following family, and settled near Williamstown, Massachusetts, where he established a prosperous farm of his own. He continued to compose music, although his American output is now lost. He died sometime around the end of the century (he is recorded as having helped survey areas of Williamstown in the mid 1890’s). This passage (from Arthur Latham Perry's '''Origins in Williamstown: A History''', 1894, p. 28 ) is thought to refer to him:

''toll-gate farm) became noted for its productiveness under the ownership of'' ''Alexander Walker and his family, canny Scotch people from Aberdeenshire; the'' ''parents married there Aug. 6, 1856. Mr. Walker could handle the fiddle bow and'' ''the 'surveyor's instruments with about equal facility; but as the lines fell to him in'' ''this country in prosy times and non-piping localities, the Scotch reels and'' ''strathspeys, of which he was a master and even a successful composer and'' ''publisher, slumbered for the most part on the bridge of his fiddles, of which he'' ''invented and perhaps patented a prized improvement. Nevertheless, his residence'' ''at the head of the gorge, where the Fosters had lived for three generations, threw'' ''a sort of halo of music and good cheer up and down the valley, and proved to'' ''many persons a kind of subtle attraction not only for the Pass by Mount Hopkins'' ''beyond it.''
