Back to Duchess of Hamilton's Reel (3)


DUCHESS OF HAMILTON'S REEL [3]. AKA - "Coigna Scalan." Scottish, Strathspey (whole time). D Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABBCCDD. The first strain is shared with "Favorite (1)." Michael Newton, writing in his blog "The Origins of the Strathspey: A Rebuttal" [1] believes the correct Scots Gaelic title of Cumming's "Coigna Scalan" should be "Còignear Sgallag."
