MONALTRIE'S. Scottish, Reel. F Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABCBCDD'. The melody appears in Robert Petrie's c. 1790 1st collection, which was dedicated to Mrs. Farquharson of Monaltrie. Monaltrie House, at the edge of Royal Deeside in the village of Ballater, Aberdeenshire, Scotland, was built in 1782 for the Farquharsons of Monaltrie. Francis Farquharson (1710-1790) was responsible for the development of the Pananich Spa, which was one of the major causes of the creation of Ballater Burgh. The town of Ballater was established as a new town around 1790, development continued by Francis' nephew, William.
