STRUY LODGE. AKA and see "Honorable Mrs. Maule's Reel," "Princess of Wales's Reel (2) (The)." Scottish, Pipe Reel (cut time). A Mixolydian. Standard tuning (fiddle). AB. "Struy Lodge" is credited to Pipe Major William Ross, 2nd Batt. Scots Guards (in the Cowal Collection, vol. 2, 1912, for one), though it has also been attributed later to Rod Campbell. However, the tune is a cognate of Robert Mackintosh’s much earlier “Honorable Mrs. Maule,” also known as “Sheep Shanks.” Fr. John Quinn also finds the Highland pipe reel “Princess of Wales's Reel (2) (The)”, also in Ross's collection, to be nearly the same. It is a variant of an older tune family that includes "Bognor Rocks (1)," "Comical Reel," "Honorable Mrs. Maule's Reel," "Kilkenny Hunt (The)," "Linen Cap (The)," "Rakes of Invercairn," and "Sheep Shanks." The parts of "Struy Lodge" are reversed from other members of the tune family.
Struy Lodge is in Beauly, Inverness-shire, Scotland.
