 HIGHLAND FABRICK, THE. AKA and see "Atholl Highlanders (The)." Scottish, Jig. G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABBCCDDEEFF. The jig is almost always called "Atholl Highlanders" in modern times, but appears as "Highland Fabrick" in Henry Colclough's c. 1830 tutor for the uilleann pipes. However, the melody predates Colclough, and can be found on a single-sheet publication from a decade earlier, and as one of the entries in Onondoga, New York, flute player Daniel Henry Huntington's copybook, dating from 1817 (Huntington has an idiosyncratic notation). The title presumably refers to wool plaid.  Source for notated version:  Printed sources: Colclough ('Tutor for the Irish Union Pipes), c. 1830; p. 15.  Recorded sources:
