The three tunes on the sheet, "Lady Elizabeth Montagu's Jigg," "[[Lady Stopford's Reel (2)]]" and "[[Duchess of Buccleugh's Reel (3) (The)]]" are probably for three women related to one another. Henry Scott, 3rd Duke of Buccleuch married Lady Elizabeth Montagu (see [[Wikipedia:Elizabeth_Scott,_Duchess_of_Buccleuch_(1743–1827)]]) in 1767, and had a three daughters (and two sons who survived to adulthood). Much of the family's lands and wealth were accumulated during Henry's tenure as Duke. He integrated the surnames "Montagu" and "Douglas" with the Scott family name to form the unhyphenated compound surname "Montagu Douglas Scott". Borrowman's "[[Duchess of Buccleugh's Reel (3) (The)]]" was composed for Henry's wife, the former Lady Elizabeth Montagu. "[[Lady Stopford's Reel (2)]]" is for their daughter, Lady Mary Scott (1769-1823) who married James Stopford, 3rd Earl of Courtown. "Lady Elizabeth Monagu" is perhaps a cousin, or possibly the eldest daughter, Lady Elizabeth Scott, who married Alexander Home, 10th Earl of Home, in November, 1798. | |||
