SIR GEORGE MACKENZIE [2]. Scottish, Reel (cut time). D Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB'. The reel is attributed to Mr. McLeod of Raasay, Laird and amateur violinist, and was first published in William Morrison's A Collection of Highland Music (1812) under the title “Lady MacKenzie of Coul///Lady McKinzie of Coul” (Paul Cranford). It is a variation of “Sir George MacKenzie (1).” The melody is popular among modern-era Cape Breton fiddlers, after the influential recording by Winston Fitzgerald.
