BRAES OF ATHOLE, THE. AKA - "Braes of Atholl." AKA and see "Athol(e) Brae." Scottish, Reel. G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABBCCDD (Alburger, Bremner, Gow): AABBCCDDEEFF (McGlashan). Northumbrian musician William Vickers' version of "Athole Brae" differs in detail but not in outline, notes musician and researcher Matt Seattle. The melody was first printed by an anonymous publisher in 1734 in the Duke of Perth MS., written by David Young. Glen (1891), however, could only find the earliest appearance of the tune in print in Robert Bremner's collection. Multi-instrumentalist John Rook, of Waverton, near Wigton, Cumbria, also included it in his large 1840 music manuscript collection.
