MONCRIEFFE HOUSE. Scottish, Strathspey. B Flat Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AB. Composed by Biography:Alexander Walker. The seat of the Chief of Clan Moncrieffe was Moncreiffe House, Perthshire, designed and built by renowned architect Sir William Bruce of Kinross, baronet (1630-1710), in 1679, who incorporated an older tower house. The manor survived until 1957, when it burned to the ground, claiming the life of the then-chief.
