Tune properties and standard notation
DARLING OF THE UIST LASSES, THE (Mac a' Bhaillidh a Uist). Scottish, Reel. D Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AAB. This tune "is an air peculiar to the Island of Uist. The baron bailie of a large estate was a man of considerable importance in remote times. The return of his son to his native country is celebrated by the Uist lasses, with whom he seems to have been a peculiar favourite, either as good looking or possessing some other attractive qualification. Formerly in Uist all the dancers sung their own music" (Fraser).
