HAUGHS OF GRANBILLE, THE. AKA and see "Oyster Wives Rant (The)." Scottish, English; Hornpipe (cut time). A Dorian. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. Boston music publisher Elias Howe's hornpipe "Haughs of Granbille" is, musically, an exact copy of the old Scottish and Northumbrian reel "Oyster Wives Rant (The)." However Howe's title is a variant of another member of the larger tune family, "Haughs of Cromdale (The)," to which Howe's "Haughs of Granbille" is a cognate melody, but differs musically in some ways.
