Irish, Highland. Ireland, County Donegal. A Dorian. Standard tuning (fiddle). AA'B. The title describes the 'A' part, played on the 'G' string of the fiddle. The Donegal version of the Scottish strathspey "Miss Stewart of Grantully (2)," played in Ireland as a Highland[1]. It is associated with the playing of Padaí Bhillí na Rópaí of Kiltyfanad, Glencolmcille, County Donegal, whose short stay in America made a profound influence on fiddler/composer Ed Reavy of Philadelphia. Padaí Bhillí's fiddle was once in the possession of Con Cassidy, who is also cited as a source for the tune.
