They are not really Scottish unless you regard Charles II as being Scottish.
The pieces are dedicated to individuals at the Restoration court.
La Stuarde probably refers to Francis Teresa Stuart, known as “La Belle
Stuart”, one of the few women that Charles II failed to seduce. I don't
know if she was Scottish but she eloped with Duke of Richmond.

Rob,
Other than these two, the only others which come to mind are in a sense all
pieces in Corebetta's 1671 book dedicated to the Stuart monarch. In
particular there's a nice sarabande: La Stuart (f. 71) and the preceding
Allemande: La Royalle

I'm looking for baroque guitar pieces with a Scottish
connection. I
have the two pieces in the Princess Anne Lute Book and
the Schiller
manuscript. Speaking of which, can someone give me the
full name for
the Schiller ms?
