BRAES OF BROTHERTOWN, THE. Scottish, Jig (6/8 time). G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AB. "Balthaynoch House" is contained in a small four-page collection by an unknown composer or editor, that is simply entitled: "Edinr. Printed & Sold by Stewart & Co. Music Sellers South Bridge Street." However the Catalog of the Wighton Collection gives that it was printed for Alexander Campbell, editor of Albyn's Anthology (1815), and the tune was likely composed by him. Brotherton (note sp.) is an area of greenspace between Pobeth and Brucefield in West Lothian, Scotland, although there is also Brotherton House in Montrose, a substantial mansion house in Scottish baronial style, and a Brotherton Castle in Kincardineshire. In John Black's poem "A Ramble Round West Calder Parish"[1], West Lothian, the braes are cited:
The bonnie glen o' Gavieside,
An' Brotherton's braw braes,
When robed in leafy, floral pride
Are worthy sweetest praise.
