SIR GEORGE MACKENZIE [2]. Scottish, Reel (cut time). D Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB'. The reel is attributed to Mr. McLeod of Raasay, Laird and amateur violinist, and was first published in William Morrison's Collection (1812) under the title “Lady McKinzie of Coul” (Paul Cranford). It is a variation of “Sir George MacKenzie (1).” The melody is popular among modern-era Cape Breton fiddlers, after the influential recording by Winston Fitzgerald.
