|f_annotation='''MISS BIGG OF BENTON'S STRATHSPEY.'''  AKA and see "[[Mrs. Biggs of Newcastle's Delight]]." Scottish, English; Strathspey.  A Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AAB.  "Miss Bigg of Benton's Strathspey" was composed by [[biography:Abraham Mackintosh]], a fiddle-composer, dancing master and musician who lived most of his life in Edinburgh. At the end of the 18th century, however, he relocated to Newcastle-upon-Tune and established himself there as a teacher of dancing.  'Benton' in the title refers to the district of Benton, now absorbed into greater Newcastle but in Mackintosh's time it was a desirable out-of-town suburb. Located there was a manor called Little Benton, owned by the powerful William Bigge (1707-1758), a lawyer, landowner and colliery owner, whose eldest son was Thomas Charles Bigge (1739-1794).  Thomas, a landowner and banker, and his wife (née Jemima Ord) had four sons and six daughters, one of whom may have been the subject of Mackintosh's strathspey.
