Back to Lady Ann Stewart's Strathspey


LADY ANN STEWART'S STRATHSPEY. AKA - "Lady Ann Stewart." Scottish, Strathspey. C Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AAB. "Lady Ann Stewart's Strathspy" was also entered (as "Lady Ann Steuart") into the music copybook [1] of John Buttery (1784-1854), a fifer with the 37th Regiment, British army, who served from 1797-1814 and who late in life emigrated to Canada. Buttery's manuscript collection has also been identified as belonging to John Fife [1], with a suggested date of 1780. Fife was a family name, like Buttery, identified with the manuscript. Buttery set the tune as a reel rather than as a strathspey, in the fife-friendly key of 'G'.
