MISS RAMSAY [3]. Scottish, Irish; Strathspey or Schottische. G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). This "Miss Ramsay" is the title on the 1928 recording by fiddlers Micheal Coleman (County Sligo) and Packie Dolan (Ahaghadowry, Ballinamuck, County Longford) that paired two strathspeys, "Sterling Castle" and "Lady Mary Ramsey (2)." "Miss Ramsey" [sic] was recorded several years earlier, however, by melodeon player Mary Ellen Conlon, the first woman to record traditional Irish music.
