CARRON'S REEL. AKA - "U Choira Chruim." AKA and see "Ewie Wi' the Crooked Horn (1) (The)," "Cheap Mutton." Scottish, Strathspey (cut time). G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AAB. John Glen (1891) finds the earliest printing of the tune in biography:Angus Cumming's 1780 collection (p. 17). It caught the attention of the Reverend Skinner who wrote his famous lyrics set to the tune, "The Ewie wi' the Crooked Horn," by which title the tune is generally known today. "Carron's Reel" perhaps refers to the River Carron, in central Scotland.
