MARCHMONT HOUSE. AKA and see "Irish Grove (The)." Scottish, Jig. D Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABBCCDD. The Earls of Marchmont commissioned a new residence and Marchmont House, designed by Robert Adam, was built to replace nearby Bedbraes Castle in Dunse, Berwickshire. It was built around the year 1754. Some 20 years ago or so it was the home of the McEwan family, although now it serves as a Sue Ryder home for the disabled.

John Glen (1891) finds the earliest appearance of this tune in Robert Bremner's 1757 collection, reprinted by Joshua Campbell in his Collection of Newest & Best Reels & Minuets ... (1788).
