  Subject: [scots-l] Miss Gunning's 
  Reel
  I could use some help, 
  having reached an impasse with my own resources. Miss Gunning's Reel 
  appears in several collections such as Vickers (1770), Aird (1782) and 
  McGlashan (1786), and also appears in Marshall's Kinrara collection which is 
  actually a sheet, front and back, along with the tunes Kinrara, Highland Time, 
  Lick the Laddle Sandie and Whigs of Fife and a forgettable tune by the Duke of 
  Gordon. The Irish collector Brendan Breathnach attributed MIss 
  Gunnings to Marshall (who would have been only 22 when the melody appeared in 
  Vickers). Does anyone else attribute it to Marshall? Does anyone know who 
  might have composed the tune, if Marshall did not? Are there any 
  occurances prior to 1770? Much thanks for your help. Regards, 
  Andrew Kuntz

There is a tune of the title Miss Gunnings in the Thompson's 
1st collection of 200 country dances, (London) c 1658, reissued c 1764
and c 1780. Only the latter have I actually seen, and I didn't copy the
tune there. It's also in Longman and Broderip's 2 collection, London, c
1792. You can get the scale incipt/stressed note code from Rabson and
Van Winkle Keller's 'The National Tune Index', 1980 - microfiche only.
(I have it, but no ready access to a microfiche reader at present)  

Isuspect that Miss Gunning's Reel has been mistakenly attributed to
Wm. Marshal because the tune appeared on the single sheet issue with
Marshall's Kinrara, c 1800.
