BANFF CASTLE. Scottish, Reel. F Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AB. The name Banff comes from the Gaelic word Banba, literally 'little pig,' a term of endearment applied by the Irish to their own country. In Scotland the term, eventually modified to Banff, was used first for a stream and then for the village that grew on its banks (Matthews, 1972). Composed by Biography:Issac Cooper of Banff (b. 1755) -- "A good tune" opines Collinson (1966).

Printed source: Gow (Complete Repository), Part 4, 1817; p. 23.
