 CAPTAIN MAITLAND'S. Scottish, Strathspey. G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AAB. Composed by Nathaniel Gow (1763-1831), another of his compositions dedicated to Scottish Napoleonic-era naval heros. Captain Frederick Maitland (1777-1839) of Lindores House, Fife, commanded the HMS Bellerophon, when on July 15th, 1815, Napoleon surrendered to him at Rochefort. Maitland's Napoleonic duties were primarily as a fighting frigate captain, but his successful career enabled him to purchase the estate of Lindores. He died of a fever in India, however, where he had been appointed commander-in-chief of the East Indies station.
