DELGATY KNELL. Scottish, Jig (6/8 time). G Minor. Standard tuning (fiddle). AAB. Composed by Kirkmichael, Perthshire, fiddler and composer biography:Robert Petrie (1767-1830). The melody was included in his 2nd Collection of Strathspey Reels and Country Dances, 1796, dedicated to his patron and employer, Mrs. Garden of Troup (Banffshire). She was related another branch of the Garden family, the Garden-Campbells of Delgaty, Aberdeenshire, and it is probably through this family connection that Petrie came to compose several melodies for individuals of that family, along with Delgaty place-names.
