LADY CAROLINE MONTAGU'S JIG. AKA - "Lady Caroline Montague's Jigg." Scottish, Jig (6/8 time). C Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. "Lady Caroline Montagu's Jig" was composed by William Borrowman, about whom nothing is known, save that he identified himself as a "teacher of dancing" in Edinburgh. He may have been trying to establish himself with his two separate issues of printed single-sheets, each with three tunes with titles connected to the Duke and Duchess of Buccleuch. However, he either was unsuccessful, or perhaps died, as there is no record of him as dancing master in that city. Every single one of his tunes is in the key of 'C' major.
Lady Caroline Montagu Scott (1774–1854) was the third of four daughters of Lady Wikipedia:Elizabeth_Scott,_Duchess_of_Buccleuch_(1743–1827) and her husband Wikipedia:Henry_Scott,_3rd_Duke_of_Buccleuch. In 1803 (probably after the date of Borrowman's single-sheet) Carline married Wikipedia:Charles_Douglas,_6th_Marquess_of_Queensberry, with whom she had eight daughters.
