PEARLIN PEGGIE'S BONNY. AKA and see "Laird of Foveran (The)." Scottish, (Slow) Air (3/2 time). A Minor. Standard tuning (fiddle). AAB. Dancing master, fiddler and composer William Christie (1778-1849), of Cuminestown, Aberdeenshire, in whose 1820 collection this tune appears, labelled this 3/2 time tune as "old" in his day. According to The New Statistical Account of Scotland (pub. 1834-45): "FOVERAN, a parish, in the district of Ellon, county of Aberdeen, 12 miles (N. by W.) from Aberdeen; containing the village of Newburgh and the barony of Kuockhall. This place was formerly remarkable for its castle, called Foveran, as is supposed, from a sweet and powerful spring, which still flows with its ancient vigour; but every vestige of the fortress is gone. The church is a plain substantial edifice, built in 1794, and accommodating 700 persons; the interior contains two handsome marble monuments to the Foveran family, and another, of very superior character, designed by Bacon, to the Udny family."
