MR. BRANDER OF PITGAVNEY'S STRATHSPEY. Scottish, Strathspey (whole time). B Flat Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AAB. "Mr. Brander of Pitgavney's Strathspey" was composed by Elgin fiddler-composer biography:Donald Grant and was published in his Collection of Strathspeys, Reels, Jigs &c. (1820-21). John Brander Esq. of Pitgavney was the father of Mary Brander, who became the second wife of Sir ArchibaldDunbar of Northfield, Baronet, in 1822. Grant composed tunes for each of them (Mary is probably who is referred to in Grant's "Miss Brander (2)"), as he did for many of the Morayshire aristocracy from whom he sought patronage.
