Back to Mrs. Irvine's Reel

MRS. IRVINE'S REEL. Scottish, Reel (cut time). E Minor. Standard tuning (fiddle). AAB. Composed by Perthshire fiddler-composer biography:Duncan McKeracher, the "Dunkeld Paganini," probably for Janet Stewart, the eldest daughter of Robert Stewart of Garth. Janet eloped with the son of one of her father’s tenants, Alexander Irvine (1773-1824), who was then minister of Fortingall, and moved from there to Little Dunkeld, Perthshire. McKercher composed several tunes for the family (see also "[[Miss Irvine's Reel" and "David Stewart Irvine Esqr.'s Reel").
