Back to Lady Frances Wemys' Reel
LADY FRANCIS WEMYS' REEL. AKA and see "Ruffian's Rant (The)," "Roy's Wife," "Roy's Wife of Aldivalloch," "Coig na Scalan," "Kilt is My Delight," "Ben Nevis," "Old Virginia Reel (1)," "I'm Over Young to Marry Yet (1)," "I'm Owre Young To Marry Yet (1)." Scottish, Reel. First published in Walsh's Twenty-four Country Dances (1724), but is almost certainly considerably older according to Scottish musicologist Ewan MacColl; the fact that it can be found in reel, strathspey, march, fling and vocal sets indicates to Bayard (1981) that it is indeed quite old. Other early versions in print include "Ruffian's Rant (The)" (1759) and "Coig na Scalan" (1780). It is also the tune for the song "Roy's Wife (of Aldivalloch)." Bayard (1981) notes that these tunes have "more than a passing resemblance" to the first strain if "Moniemusk " {he also prints a derivative Pennsylvania- collected, untitled march, No. 308, p. 260}.
