LADY CRAWFURD. AKA - "Lady Crawford's Reel." Scottish, Reel (cut time). Standard tuning (fiddle). D Major. AABBCCDD. John Glen (1891) finds the earliest appearance of the tune in print in Ayrshire fiddler-composer biography:John Riddell's 1782 collection (p. 34) issued by Glasgow musician and music publisher James Aird. Riddell's first edition, however, was published in 1766, printed in Edinburgh by Robert Bremner. Charles Gore remarks that a family by the name of Crawfurd lived at Ardmillan, Girvan (Ayrshire), and that Riddell's collection features many tunes containing the family name.
