MISS SCOT [1]. AKA - "Miss Scott." Scottish, Reel. B Flat Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AAB. The tune was composed by Robert 'Red Rob' Mackintosh (c. 1745–1807), an Edinburgh music teacher and composer who published his first collection in 1783. Along with Peter Baillie, Mackintosh was one of Niel Gow's serious rivals as an exponent of Scottish Dance Music, according to J. Murdoch Henderson. Mackintosh's reels are considered better than his strathspeys and are often quite inventive and original. Stenhouse records that he died in London.
