MISS CLEMENTINA STEWART'S STRATHSPEY. Scottish, Strathspey. E Minor. Standard tuning (fiddle). AAB. Composed by Biography:William Shepherd (c. 1760-1812). Shepherd also composed a melody called "Miss Stewart of Ballechen's Strathspey," on the same first page of his collection as "Miss Clementina Stewart's Strathspey." Ballenchin was held by Hope Steuart (1761 - 1834), but he married some ten years after Shepherd's publication, leaving the most likely "Miss Stewart" one of his sisters, daughters of Robert Steuart (1727-1783) and Isabella Hope, who married in 1759.
