Brown of Linkwood's Strathspey" was composed by Elgin fiddler-composer biography:Donald Grant and published in his Collection of Strathspeys, Reels, Jigs &c. (1820-21). Peter Brown (d. 1868) was factor of the Linkwood Estate and the owner of the Linkwood Distillery, which he established in 1821, although it did not start production until the 1823 Excise Act was on the stature book. The distillery gets its name from the Burn of Linkwood from which it gets its cooling water. The Linkwood Distillery was operated by James Walker during Peter Brown's tenure as owner. Brown was on the town council of Elgin during the 1820 electoral dispute between the Grants and Lord Fife. He died at Linkwood in 1868 at age 76.
