REEL (5). Scottish, Pipe Reel (whole time). A Minor. Standard tuning (fiddle). AB. This untitled pipe reel appears in the first volume of Celtic Melodies, Being a Collection of Original Slow Highland Airs, Pipe-Reels, and Cainntearachd, published about 1830 in Edinburgh, with pieces "Selected and Arranged by a Highlander." The anonymous editor(s) are thought to be George Farquhar Graham, with some settings contributed by Finlay Dunn. A penciled note, somewhat illegible, next to the title suggests the name of the tune may be "The Black Hen's Leg(?)."
