MISS STUART'S. AKA and see "Ann Stuart's Strathspey," "Lady Amelia Stewartâs Strathspey," "Miss Ann Amelia Murray," "Mrs. MacIntyre's." Scottish, Strathspey. G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AB. Not any of the three "Miss Stewart's", however, the tune was published by Thomas Preston in London in his Twenty-Four Country Dances for the Year 1804 as "Lady Amelia Stewartâs Strathspey," and was included in the 1840 music manuscript collection of Cumbrian musician John Rook as "Ann Stuart's Strathspey." However, the original title was "Mrs. MacIntyre's" by expatriate Scottish dancing master and musician Duncan MacIntyre. The melody was entered as "Scotch Air" in volume one (p. 174) of the large mid-19th century music manuscript collection of County Cork cleric and uilleann piper James Goodman.
