BURN O' CAIRNIE. AKA and see "Miss Wedderburn('s Reel) [1]," "Miss Jenny Wedderburn." Scotland, Strathspey. A Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AB. A burn is a small stream; the Burn of Cairnie is an affluent of the river Isla, in northwest Aberdeenshire. Glen (1891) finds the tune earliest in print in Robert Bremner's 1757 collection. "Miss Wedderburn's," a later (derivative) melody, shares the same first part, though the second differs.

Printed sources: Bremner (Scots Reels), c. 1757; p. 53 (appears as "The Burn of Carnie"). MacDonald (The Skye Collection), 1887; p. 7.

Recorded source: LOCH 1220, Old Blind Dogs - "Tall Tails" (appears as "The Burn O' Craigie").
