Item Description

Probably the first printed music for the still popular North-east of Scotland song 'O gin I were fa' Gadie Rins... at the back o' Bennachie'. 'Mill o' Tifty's Annie' dates from the end of the late seventeenth century and is found among the ballads collected by and made famous by Harvard Professor Francis James Child, in the nineteenth century. (For the second part see JSS0523.) The pencilled annotations were made by J. Murdoch Henderson (1902-1972), mathematics teacher, fiddle enthusiast, collector and composer.
