Did you learn anything about this tune? I have no information at all about it. I transcribed it a few years ago from a printed page that someone gave me, so I could play the tune at a gig. It was an Nth-generation copy of a printed page, but they didn't have the book, and the page didn't have any information about the book. It's not in any of my books. There are two Miss Rattray tunes, a reel and a jig, but neither is at all like this tune. Old Rattray is a town in the Grampians, of course. Anyway, if you have any info about the tune, send me a copy, and I'll add it to the tune's header.

Re: [scots-l] Old Rattray march
Hi John; no I haven't yet found anything on this. I have the other 2 Rattray tunes you mentioned (Miss Rattray of Dalrullzian (Jig) by Petrie, and Miss Rattray (Reel) from the Athole collection) but this is the first time I've encountered this one. My interest is on behalf of a friend who is a Rattray and is collecting tunes related to the clan for a Rattray clan gathering in Blairgowrie this Summer. I wonder if I'd be correct to assume that a tune with the name Old Rattray would have to date from after the early 1800's, when New Rattray was established? At any rate, I'll let you know if I come up with anything. -Steve John Chambers said: Hi, Steve. Did you learn anything about this tune? I have no information at all about it.

As I have it, it doesn't match the range, but folding it in the obvious way works pretty well. It works pretty well in A, too, and there aren't any 7ths in the tune to worry about. But as I said, I have no information about it. If you ask google about old rattray, you get a whole lot of tourism references, plus some pages about tobacco, some in German (Ein bemerkenswerter Tabak). Nothing about a tune, though.
