The Earl of Dalhousei's Happy Return to Scotland

The stool of repentance

Grandtully Castle is in Strathtay, roughly 4 miles east of Aberfeldy and was, in the C18th, the home of Sir John Stewart of Grandtully. Written by Niel Gow for one of Sir John’s daughters, this is a Strathspey setting of a reel of the same name. 

According to John Purser (Scotland’s Music, 2007):
“Miss Stewart of Grandtully is the sort of music he (Niel Gow) was best at and that was in such demand from the young ladies. It uses only the notes of the bagpipe scale, has as a structural feature the Scottish love of the double-tonic, and with its Scotch snaps and dotted Strathspey rhythms for which Scots fiddlers have developed their own bowing techniques, it can be said to represent the quintessence of Scottish dance melodies”
