LADY BETTY STANLEY'S MINUET. The tune was written by biography:Thomas Alexander Erskine, Viscount Fenton, Sixth Earl of Kelly, born at Kellie Castle in Fife in 1732 and familiarly known as "Fiddler Tam". It honors the wife of Lord Stanley, a twenty-two year old aristocrat given to horse-racing and cock-fighting, and, like Kelly, fond of his pleasures.
