Back to Lady Susan Stewart's Strathspey

LADY SUSAN STEWART'S. Scottish, Strathspey. G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AAB. The melody appears in the 2nd Collection of Malcolm MacDonald of Dunkeld, who dedicated his volume to the Earl of Breadalbane. The title perhaps refers to Lady Susan Stewart (1767-1841), the daughter of John Stewart, 7th Earl of Galloway and Anne Dashwood. In 1791 she married George Spencer-Churchill, 5th Duke of Marlborough, thereupon becoming the Marchioness of Blandford. When her husband succeeded to the Dukedom in 1817 she became the Duchess of Marlborough.
