MISS BIGGAR'S STRATHSPEY. Scottish, Strathspey (whole time). G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AAB. Perthshire fiddler-composer John Bowie's "Miss Biggar's" was perhaps named for a member of the Edinburgh Biggars family of wealthy merchants. Daniel McClaren, musician of Edinburgh, composed a few tunes for the Biggar family a few years after Bowie's volume was published.
