MR. ALEXANDER TROUP. Scottish, Strathspey. F Sharp Minor. Standard tuning (fiddle). AAB. Composed by Aberdeenshire fiddler-composer biography:Alexander Walker in honor of Alexander Troup of Dalbagie. Dalbàgie (Glengairn), parish of Glenmuick, is derived from Scots Gaelic Dail bhàite or "drowned field" or "flooded haugh", denoting a field that is wet and swampy. There was a Glen Gairn farmer by the name of William Troup who lived at Dalbagie, with a son named Charles Troup who resided there in 1870. Perhaps Alexander was another son or other relative. They were associated with Ballater Free Church.
