BALLETERACH STRATHSPEY. Scottish, Strathspey (whole time). E Flat Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AAB. Composed by Aberdeenshire fiddler-composer biography:Alexander Walker (b. 1819). Walker includes the note "Once the residence of Lord Byron." Ballaterach (Balleterach, Ballatric) a farm-house in Glenmuick parish, Aberdeenshire, near the south bank of the Dee, four miles east of Ballater. It was the residence of Lord Byron (1788-1824) when a boy. The steading caught on fire in 1868, a few years after Walker's collection was published, burning among other things a bed that was an attraction as it was thought to be the one the poet slept in. The a box-bed "reappeared" soon thereafter, and so the fiction was maintained for the poet's visiting admirers.
