MISS DUNDAS OF ARNISTON. Scottish, Reel. D Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AAB. The tune is attributed to Edinburgh fiddler-composer, music publisher and bandleader Biography:Nathaniel Gow (1763-1831). However, a variant of the tune appears in the music manuscript collection of Northumbrian musician William Vickers as "Sailor's Wedding," which, while somewhat distanced is none-the-less a cognate tune. It may be that Gow 'polished' and renamed an older melody.
Gow's title may refer to a daughter of Robert Dundas (1753-1819) of Arniston, a Scottish judge and politician. He served a term as an MP from Midlothian (1790-1796), was a Solicitor General and Lord Advocate, and was Baron Exchequer for Scotland from 1801 until his death. The elder of his daughters was Ann(e) Dundas (1791-1833), who married John Borthwick of Crookston (1788-1845).
