LADY HARRIOT HAY. AKA and see "Brechin Castle," "Miss Douglas of Brigton." Scottish, Strathspey. B Flat Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. The melody appeared under this title in Kirkmichael, Perthshire, fiddler and composer Robert Petrie's 2nd Collection (1795). Charles Gore finds it was printed previously by Glasgow publisher James Aird in his Selection of Scotch, English, Irish and Foreign Airs, vol. 3 (c. 1790). John Bowie published a reel, presumably dedicated to the same person, called "Lady Herriot Hay."
