GLEN MORISONE'S REELL (sic). AKA and see "Confederacy (The)," "Ye’re Welcome Charlie Stuart." Scottish, Reel (cut time). D Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. The melody is to be found in David Young's Duke of Perth MS. (also known as the Drummond Castle MS) of 1734, where it is one of the earliest examples of dotted strathspey-like rhythms. It was later printed in Angus Cumming's 1780 collection.
