GENERAL GATHERING 1745, THE (An Cruinneachadh iomlan luthmhor). Scottish, Jig. D Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AB (Kerr): AAB (Athole, Fraser). "This air is so very characteristic of the event which gave rise to it, that a gentleman in Edinburgh remarked he thought he saw the Highlanders in full trot to Prince Charles's standard, on hearing it played, which should be in a style as quick as possible, and makes an admirable dance" (Fraser).
