LASS AMONG THE ACTNACH (Nian a Bhodich sin rinattin). AKA - "Lass among the Aclenoch," "Lass amongst the Aclenoch (The)," "Lass amongst the Actenoch," "Lass among the Etnoch's (The)." Scottish, Strathspey. A Minor (most versions): D Dorian (Davie). Standard tuning (fiddle). AB (McGlashan): AAB (Davie): AABB (Aird, Cumming, Petrie). John Glen (1891) finds the earliest printing of the tune in Alexander McGlashan's collection. Michael Newton, writing in his blog "The Origins of the Strathspey: A Rebuttal" [1] believes the correct Scots Gaelic title of Cumming's "Nian a Bhodich sin rinattin" should be "Nighean a’ bhodaich sin ri’n aodann."
