COUNTESS OF DALKEITH. AKA and see "Highland Time," "Kinrara Strathspey (1)." Scottish, Strathspey. B-Flat Major. Standard tuning. AB. William Marshall (1748-1833) claimed composer credit for this tune as the "Kinrara Strathspey" which appears in his First Collection of 1781. Marshall also printed it in his Kinrara Collection (1800) under the title "Highland Time." It was re-titled by the Gows and appears in their Fourth Collection of 1800 without composer credits, which has led many to cite this as another instance of the Gows' plagiarism of others' melodies.

Printed source: Carlin (The Gow Collection), 1986; No. 30. Gow (Fourth Collection of Niel Gow's Reels), 2nd ed., originally 1800; p. 5. Marshall, Fiddlecase Edition, 1978; 1822 Collection, p. 2, (appears as "Kinrara Strathspey").
