BONNY LASS OF BALLANTRAE. AKA and see "Lass of Ballintrae (The)," "Lasses o' Ballantrae (The)." Scottish, Reel. F Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AAB. The tune is credited to "Captain Fraser" (probably Capt. Simon Fraser of Knockie) by Lowe in his 1844 collection, however, it does not seem to appear in the Fraser collections. It was printed by the Gows in their 4th Repository as "Lass of Ballintrae (The)," with no attribution.

Printed source: Stewart-Robertson (The Athole Collection), 1884; p. 206.
