LADY CUNNINGHAM OF LIVINGSTONE'S FAVORITE. Scottish, Air or Strathspey. A Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AAB. The tune is attributed to Nathaniel Gow (1763-1831) in Niel Gow's Second Collection (1788). The title perhaps honors Mary Hougham Udney, who married in 1785 Sir William Augustus Cunynghame (1747-1828), MP, 4th Baronet of Livingstone and Milncraig (Ayr). She was his second wife, and was the ony daughter and heiress of Robert Udney, of Udney (Aberdeenshire), Esq.
