LADY BALCARRAS. Scottish. John Glen (1891) finds the earliest printing of the tune in Robert Riddel's 1782 collection (p. 57). Elizabeth Dalrymple Lindsay, the Countess of Balcarres, was a patroness of Edinburgh musicians and was herself an accomplished keyboard player. She composed tunes, one of which, "Lady Eliza Lindsay," a hornpipe written for her ten-year-old daughter, was published in John Watlen's 1791 collection.
