BRAES OF BUSHBIE [2]. AKA – "Braes of Busbie." AKA and see "Duke of Sutherland's March." Scottish, Slow March (4/4 time) or Strathspey. A Dorian (Aird, O'Farrell): G Minor (Cole, Hardie): G Dorian (Cranford). Standard tuning (fiddle). ABC (Cole, Hardy): AABBCC (O'Farrell): ABABCCD (Howe): AABBCCD (Cranford). In lowland Scots dialect, a brae is a hillside. Busby is a district in Renfrewshire, Scotland. The melody may have been composed by John Bowie, and first appears in his Collection (1789).

Reworked as "Dowd's Favorite (1)," the tune is played as a reel and was famously recorded by Sligo/New York City fiddler Michael Coleman. Piper Willie Clancy had a reel time setting of the tune, called "Braes of Busby," in a major tonality.
