PRINCE CHARLES/CHARLIE [1] (Prionns Tearlach). Scottish, Cape Breton; Reel and Air (whole time). E Dorian/Minor. Standard tuning (fiddle). AB (Fraser, Kerr, Lowe): AA'B (Athole). "The last music page of this work contains a note, which explains the opportunity the editor's grandfather enjoyed of acquiring particularly the airs connected with the rebellion of 1745, the scene of which, by Lord Lovat's accidental residence, having been brought so near his door. This reel to Prince Charles was struck up by Lord Lovat's minstrel, at celebrating intelligence of some of the Prince's successful movements in the south" (Fraser).

Prince Charles Edward Stuart (1725-1807), dressed in armor. Painted by Maurice Quentin de la Tour.
