'''EGLINTON CASTLE'''. Scottish, Strathspey. B Flat Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AAB. Gow's '''Fourth Collection''' (Edinburgh, 1800) was dedicated to the 12th Earl of Eglinton, to whom the melody is attributed. The earl was Hugh Montgomerie (1739-1819), the 12th Earl of Eglinton, a Scottish peer, politician, musician (cello) and composer. After some service in the army in the American wars, he became a member of Parliament for Ayrshire, serving for 16 years, after which, in 1796, he became Lord-Lieutenant for Ayrshire. Mongomerie was one of the backers of the partially built Glasgow, Paisley and Ardrossan Canal, which facilitated shipping to the Scottish interior.

EGLINTON CASTLE. Scottish, Strathspey (whole time). B Flat Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AAB. Gow's Fourth Collection (Edinburgh, 1800) was dedicated to the 12th Earl of Eglinton, to whom the melody is attributed. The earl was Hugh Montgomerie (1739-1819), the 12th Earl of Eglinton, a Scottish peer, politician, musician (cello) and composer. After some service in the army in the American wars, he became a member of Parliament for Ayrshire, serving for 16 years, after which, in 1796, he became Lord-Lieutenant for Ayrshire. Mongomerie was one of the backers of the partially built Glasgow, Paisley and Ardrossan Canal, which facilitated shipping to the Scottish interior. See "Ayrshire Lasses (2)" for another of his compositions.
Eglinton Castle [1][2] is a large mansion in Kilwinning, North Ayrshire, built between 1797 and 1802 on the site of a 16th-century stronghold of the Montgomerie family. A lavish medieval themed tournament and entertainment was held on the grounds in the first half of the 19th century by the 13th Earl of Eglinton. The structure was abandoned early in the 20th century and is largely demolished today.
