'''BRAES OF MELLINISH, THE'''.  AKA and see "Bruachan Mhelinis." Scottish, Pipe Jig or March. The popular march version is sometimes attributed to Captain MacKay (although others have been credited as well--Pipe Major John MacDonald from Melness, Sutherland, for one). The title perhaps refer to the lands of the Laird of Mellan, whose estates were near Loch Linnie, north of Perth. A tale is told of one of the lairds:

Perth has long been known as the 'bonnie toun' on account of its lovely women.

This dates back to the time of King Arthur. When he first ascended to his
throne, he dispatched heralds to summon the most beautiful maidens in the
land to Camelot to attend the first Tournament of his Knights of the Round
Table. The fairest of all the girls that he saw there was Lady Guinevere,
from Perth. It is said that he fell in love with her almost at first
sight, and would not rest until she consented to become his bride. But her
father, Hamish, Laird of Mellin, set him a task to perform to prove his
worthiness before he would consent to the marriage. Arthur was asked to
swim across Loch Linnie in the cold of December. So on the appointed day,
Arthur went to the shore of the loch, stripped off his tunic and hose, and
waded into the icy water. On Merlin's advice, he chose a part of the shore
where the loch was narrow, and succeeded in reaching the other side in
less than a minute, thus avoiding hypothermia. There is a children's
rhyme"Frae Perth came Guinevere, to make the King revere, He saw her face
in the Loch of the north, and never went more forth"
</blockquote>
The melody is sometimes referred to as "Kentigern Jig/Kentigern's Jig" after associations with the band Kentigern, who recorded the "Braes of Mellanish" on their 1979 album.
