MRS. WEYME/WEMYSS OF CUTTLEHILL. AKA and see "Lochgary's." Scottish, Slow Strathspey. G Minor. Standard tuning (fiddle). AAB. Composed by Nathaniel Gow (1763-1831). James Manson, editor of Hamilton's Universal Tune Book, vol. 2 (1853), says: "The modern song of “St. Patrick was a Gentleman” is sung to the above air." The person of the title was the wife of William Wemyss (pronounced ‘Weems’), laird of Cuttlehill, a mansion in Aberdour parish, Fife. Wemyss was a Deputy Lieutenant of the county.
A version of the tune was published a year after the Gows in Anderson's second volume of 1793 as "Lochgary's." See also the similar, perhaps cognate "Alasdair MacAlister."
