LADY HARRIOT MONTAGUE'S FAVORITE. Scottish, Slow Air. D Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. The title refers to Lady Harriet Montagu-Scott (1780-1833), fourth and youngest daughter of Henry Scott, 3rd Duke of Buccleuch, and Lady Elizabeth Montagu. The family became Montagu-Scott when the latter inherited the family estates. In 1806 Lady Harriet became the 2nd wife of William Kerr, 6th Marquess of Lothian, a friend of writer Sir Walter Scott's. The couple had three sons and five daughters. Harriet died in 1833.
