MR. GORDON OF HALLHEAD('S STRATHSPEY). Scottish, Slow Strathspey (whole time). G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AB (Marshall, Skye): AAB (Hunter). Composed by biography:William Marshall (1748-1833). Hallhead was an older mansion of the lairds of Gordon of Ruthven, located in the heart of rural Aberdeenshire in the parish of Leochel-Cushnie. Jean Duval [1] finds that Montreal fiddler Joseph Allard's "Reel de l'enfant" is a derivative of Marshall's strathspey.
