"Braes of Auchtertyre", also known as "Braes of Auchentyre", "Belles of Tipperary", "Beaus of Albany", "The Music Club", "The New Policeman" is a Scottish reel or strathspey in C Major (most versions) or D Major (Aird, Kennedy). The parts are played AB (Alburger, Cole, Gow, Kennedy, Kerr, Lowe, Skye, Athole), AABB (Aird, Cranford, Perlman) or ABCD (Campbell). Auchtertyre lies midway between Dornie and Kyle on the northern shore of Loch Alsh, Scotland. This popular tune was first published by Neil Stewart in Collection of the Newest and Best Reels and Country Dances (c. 1761) and later transposed to the key of 'A' and played as a strathspey. It was printed about the same time in Joshua Campbell's 1778 collection. The tune appears to have developed from a slow 3/4 time Lowland Scots song tune called "O Dear Minnie/Mother (What Shall I Do)?". Toward the end of the 18th century "Braes of Auchtertyre" evolved from it and it in turn became the direct ancestor of the American 'old-time' tune "Billy in the Lowground". It was printed in Aird's Selection of Scotch, English, Irish and Foreign Airs, vol. 2 (1785) Alburger's Scottish Fiddlers and Their Music (1983), Joshua Campbell's A Collection of New Reels & Highland Strathspeys (1789), Cole's 1000 Fiddle Tunes (1940), Cranford's Jerry Holland's Collection of Fiddle Tunes (1995), Gow's Complete Repository, Part 1 (1799), Kennedy's Fiddler's Tune-Book: Reels & Rants, Flings & Fancies (1997), Kerr's Merry Melodies, vol. 1 (c. 1880), Lowe's Lowe's Collection of Reels, Strathspeys and Jigs, book 3 (1844–1845), Milne's Middleton's Selection of Strathspeys, Reels, &c. for the Violin (c. 1882), Perlman's The Fiddle Music of Prince Edward Island (1996), Petrie's Second Collection of Strathspey Reels &c.
