BRAES OF NEWE, THE. Scottish, Strathspey (whole time). F Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AAB. Composed by biography:Alexander Walker, born 1810, Rhynie, Strathbogie, Aberdeenshire. Once employed (as a gardener) and patronized by Sir Charles Forbes of Castle Newe, Walker emmigrated to the United States at age 51 to join his brother in Vermont, and later in Williamstown, Mass., where he "was still going strong in 1898 as a farmer and land surveyor". He published 200 of his melodies before he left Scotland, and a further 180 in America (of which the latter appear lost).
