L'AMÉRICAIN ET L'ÉCOSSAIS. French-Canadian, Reel (cut time). D Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AAAA'BB. "L'Américain et l'Écossais" (The American and the Scotch) is sourced to the repertoire of Montreal fiddler biography:Joseph Allard, through his student and admirer Jean Carignan, who recorded it on his LP devoted to music he learned from the older fiddler. Jean Duval notes, however, the Carmelle Bégin did not include the tune in his seminal thesis work on Allard's music. Duval finds Allard's piece to be a version of "Blue-eyed Lassie", which can be found in Ryan's Mammoth Collection (1883).
