LADY JEAN HUM(E)'S REEL. Scottish, Country Dance Tune (12/8 or 6/8 time). C Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. The melody appears in the Drummond Castle Manuscript (in the possession of the Earl of Ancaster at Drummond Castle), inscribed "A Collection of Country Dances written for the use of his Grace the Duke of Perth by Dav. Young, 1734", and in the (James) Gillespie Manuscript of Perth (1768). John Glen (1891) found the earliest appearence of the tune in print only in Robert Bremner's 1757 collection, and was evidently unaware of Young's MS.

Source for notated version:

Printed sources: Bremner (Scots Reels), c. 1757; p. 50.
