MISS LORAINE OF KIRKHARLE'S REEL. AKA and see "Miss Annie Watson's Reel." G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AAB. The tune was composed by Abraham Mackintosh and printed under this title in his Collection of Strathspeys, Reels, Jigs &c. (after 1797), although Mackintosh had previously published the same melody in his Thirty New Strathspeys and Reels (1792) under the title "Miss Annie Watson's Reel."
Kirkharle Hall was a country house at Kirkharle, Northumberland, England, the former seat of the Loraine family, now much reduced and in use as a farmhouse. Following its sale to a local farmer in the early 19th century the Hall was largely demolished. Only one wing was retained which was rebuilt as a farmhouse.
