MR. GARDEN’S WELCOME HOME TO TROUP HOUSE. Scottish, Strathspey (whole time). F Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AAB. Composed by Kirkmichael, Perthshire, fiddler and composer biography:Robert Petrie (1767-1830), and employee of the Garden family at Troup House. His Second Collection (1796), in which this tune appears in an honor position on the first page, was dedicated to Mrs. Troup. The tune follows "Mr. Garden of Troup's Farewell to France," a slow air or strathspey, probably meant to be played as a pair.
