CAPTAIN HUGH MUNRO. AKA - "Captain Hugh Munro's Strathspey." Scottish, Strathspey. E Flat Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AB. Composed by expatriate Scottish dancing master Duncan Macintyre (c. 1767-c. 1807), appearing in this 1794 collection published in London (where he taught dancing). MacIntyre appears to have Perthshire connections and may have been acquainted with the Gows, for they published several of his tunes (although the connection could have been through John and Andrew Gow's London branch of the family publishing business).
