Back to Lady Minto's Favourite

LADY MINTO'S FAVOURITE. Scottish, Slow Jig (6/8 time). A Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. Composed by John(ny) Pringle (born c. 1770) and published in his first collection in Edinburgh, 1801. The title perhaps honors Anna Maria Amyand, daughter of the 1st Baronet Amyand, who, in 1777, married Sir Gilbert Elliot [1], who became Lord Minto from 1797 to 1813, then made Earl for his service as Governor-General of India (1807-1813).

Printed sources: Pringle (A Collection of Strathspeys, Reels & Jigs), 1801; No. 4, p. 2.
