LOCHNESS SIDE. Scottish, Strathspey. G Minor. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. The melody appears in the 3rd collection of Biography:Malcolm MacDonald of Dunkeld, Perthshire, a volume dedicated to Miss Drummond of Perth. It was also printed in John and Andrew Gow's A Collection of Slow Airs, Strathspeys and Reels (London, c. 1795). Andrew (1760-1803) and younger brother John (1764-1826) established a publishing business in London in 1788 and were the English distributors for the Gow family musical publications.

Lochness, by Alfred de Bréanski (1852-1928)

Dublin music publisher Edmund Lee printed the tune in a volume called Mrs. Parker's Selection of Scotch Tunes, Strathspeys and Reels (n.d.), which appears to be a period reprint of the Gow volume.

Loch Ness [1] is a large (23 mi.) freshwater lake in Inverness-shire, at the bottom of the Great Glen of Scotland.
