LADY DILLON. AKA - "Miss Dillon and Jigg," "Young Lady Dillon," "Rose Dillon." Irish, Air or Planxty (cut time). F Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). ABCD. An air with and attached jig as the last part. Despite Edward Bunting's calling the melody's dedicatee, Lady Dillon, by the christian name of Rose, she has been identified as Lady Frances Dillon, the daughter and heiress of Lord and Lady Dillon of Mannin. Her predecessor as Lady Dillon was Lady Bridget Burke, second daughter of the 9th Earl of Clanricard. Carolan composed tunes for members of both families.
