MISS HAY’S REEL [2]. AKA and see "Miss Jessy Stewart's Reel," "Mr. John Shaw Stewart’s (1)." Scottish, Reel. G Minor. Standard tuning (fiddle). AAB. The tune has been attributed to Kirkmichael, Perthshire, fiddler and composer Robert Petrie. The melody appears in his Second Collection of Strathspey Reels and Country Dances (1796), a volume dedicated to his patron and employer, Mrs. Garden of Troup. However, Niel Gow and Malcolm MacDonald have earlier claims (see alternate titles).
