Tune properties and standard notation
HONOURABLE MISS CHARTERIS, THE. Scottish, Reel. G Minor. Standard tuning (fiddle). AB. The Earls of Wemyss adopted the name Charteris (absorbing the ill-gotten gains of the infamous Colonel Charteris). The title may honor one of the daughters of Francis Wemyss Charteris, Lord Elcho (1749-1808) and Susan Tracy-Keck, whom he married in July 1771. The daughters were Susan, Augusta, Henrietta and Katherine.
