-'''INVERCAULLD'S/INVERCAULD'S REEL'''. AKA and see "[[O Tibby I hae seen the day]]." Scottish, Strathspey. D Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AAB. Invercauld House, a baronial mansion in Royal Deeside, Aberdeenshire, built on the site of an older castle, is the seat of Clan Farquharson. Musically, the tune is pentatonic or hexatonic, except for grace notes. There is a well-known strathspey dance by the name Invercauld's Reel, and the title of both dance and tune remains, despite the fact that it is a strathspey. John Glen (1891) finds two tunes by the name "Invercauld's Strathspey" first published in one of Edinburgh music publisher Neil Stewart's collections of the later 18th century (c. 1761). The title also appears in the '''Drummond Castle Manuscript''', 1734, inscribed "A Collection of the best Highland Reels written by David Young, W.M. & Accomptant". Glen also finds the earliest printing of this tune in Bremner's 1768 2nd collection (p. 107), and it also appears in the '''Gillespie Manuscript of Perth''' (1768).
