Back to Lady Elizabeth Pringle's Reel

LADY ELIZABETH PRINGLE'S REEL. Scottish, Reel (whole time). A Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. Lady Elizabeth Campbell (d. 1878) was the daughter of Lord Breadalbane and married Sir John Pringle. After the death of her brother, John Campbell, Lady Elizabeth Pringle inherited the beautiful estate of Langton.

The great perfection of Highland dancing is never to allow the knee to sink, and to keep the person erect, and these are requisites which, though attended to in the chieftain's hall, are very seldom thought of by the retainers. The Queen was delighted with this reel, and complimented the dancers. Her Majesty also very much admired the reel-dancing of Lord Breadalbane's sister, Lady Elizabeth Pringle.
