MISS ELDER [1]. Scottish, Reel (whole time). E Minor (Petrie): D Major (Anderson). Standard tuning (fiddle). AB (Cranford): AAB (Glen). The melody was composed by Biography:Robert Petrie and appears in his c. 1790 1st collection. Curiously, John Anderson's (1820) version, while nearly identical in melodic contour, is notated one step lower than is Petrie's setting, and set in a major tonality.
