LORD HADDO'S FAVORITE. AKA and see "Coming Through the Broom My Jo," "Edinburgh Kate," "Wat ye whe I met yestreen." Scottish, Air or March (4/4 time). B Minor (Lerwick): A Dorian (Johnson). Standard tuning (fiddle). AAB (Johnson): AABB (Lerwick). The composition is credited to Inver, Dunkeld, Perthshire, fiddler-composer Niel Gow, although it appears to be his own re-titling of Allan Ramsay's song air "The young laird and Edinburgh Katy," printed in the latter's Tea Table Miscellany (1724-27, for which see "Edinburgh Kate").
