Does anyone know if any of Robert Petrie's collections have been reprinted or are available online? I recently heard a set of jigs by him that make me want to find more of his work, but a net search doesn't turn up much. Here's the jig that piqued my interest:
X:1 T:Miss Rattray of Dalrullzian C:Robert Petrie S:Petrie's Collection of Strathspey Reels and Country Dances &c., 1790 Z:Steve Wyrick <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 2/25/03 N:transcribed from Elke Baker, Glenelg K:G M:6/8 L:1/8 f|g2GB2d|gab agf|gfe dgc|Bdg G3|gfg dBG|gab a2g|fga AB^c|d3 d2c|!

So far I have Miss Rattray's Reel, from the Skye Collection and others, and the above tune. Anyone know of any others? A strathspey would be nice!
