Burn of Forgue (The)

 BURN OF FORGUE, THE. Scottish, Reel. A Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AB (Cranford/Fitzgerald): AABB' (Hardie). Composed by the great Scottish fiddler and composer J. Scott Skinner (1841-1927) in honor of the parish of Forgue in Aberdeenshire, Scotland (located between the towns of Huntly and Turriff). A burn is a small stream. Hardie (1992) maintains it makes "an ideal reel to follow the strathspey 'Tulchan Lodge.'" Source for notated version: Winston Fitzgerald (1914-1987, Cape Breton) [Cranford]. Printed sources: Cranford (Winston Fitzgerald), 1997; No. 80, p. 35. Hardie (Caledonian Companion), 1992; p. 76.
