Regards, Andrew Kuntz MISS GRACE MENZIES. Scottish, Strathspey. F Major. Standard. AB (Marshall): AAB (Cranford). Composed by William Marshall (1748-1823), renowned for his strathspeys. Marshall was Steward of the Household to Alexander, the 4th Duke of Gordon, an enthusiastic supporter and patron of Marshall's music. Moyra Cowie (The Life and Times of William Marshall, 1999) finds that Grace Menzies was born at Gordon Castle where her father was cashier and was presumably overseen by Marshall who had responsibility for the entire household. Mr. Menzies kept meteorological records at Gordon Castle which still survive (and record, among other items, the severe flooding on the estate in 1829).
