Back to Highway to Eglintoune (The)

HIGHWAY TO EGLINTOUNE, THE. Scottish, Jig (6/8 time). C Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. John Glen (1891) finds the earliest printing of the tune in Ayrshire fiddler-composer biography:John Riddell's 1782 second collection (p. 27). 'Eglintoune' probably refers to Eglinton Castle [1], a large Gothic castellated mansion in Kilwinning, North Ayrshire, Scotland. It was the ancient seat of the Earls of Eglinton, but fell into decline and finally was demolished in the decades after World War II.
