"Braes of Busbie", also known as "Braes of Bushbie", "The Breeze of Busbey" or "Duke of Sutherland's March" is a Scottish slow march in 4/4 time or Strathspey in A Dorian (Aird, O'Farrell), G Minor (Cole, Hardie), G Dorian (Cranford). The parts are played ABC (Cole, Hardy), AABBCC (O'Farrell), ABABCCD (Howe) or AABBCCD (Cranford). In lowland Scots dialect, a brae is a hillside. Busby is a district in Renfrewshire, Scotland. The melody may have been composed by John Bowie and first appears in his Collection (1789). A note in Nathaniel Gow's Sixth Collection (1822) says that it was favorite of Niel Gow's and that it is "Old". In Ireland, Co. Leitrim piper and fiddler Stephen Grier entered the tune, set as a reel, in Book 2 of his c. 1883 music manuscript collection as "Breeze of Busbey". Reworked as "Dowd's Favorite", the reel was famously recorded by Sligo/New York City fiddler Michael Coleman. Piper Willie Clancy had a reel time setting of the tune, called "Braes of Busby" in a major tonality. The version given here is from Aird. It was printed in Aird's Selection of Scotch, English, Irish and Foreign Airs, vol. 6 (1803), Cole's 1000 Fiddle Tunes (1940), Cranford's Jerry Holland's Collection of Fiddle Tunes (1995), Gow's Sixth Collection of Strathspeys, Reels and Slow Tunes (1822), Hardie's Caledonian Companion (1992), Henderson's Flowers of Scottish Melody (1935), Howe's 1000 Jigs and Reels (1867), McFadyen's Repository of Scots and Irish Airs, vol. 1 (c. 1795), O'Farrell's Pocket Companion, vol. 2 (c. 1806), Ryan's Mammoth Collection (1883)(strathspey setting). It was recorded by Jordi Savall on The Celtic Viol. II (2010) and Jerry O'Sullivan on O'Sullivan meets O'Farrell (2005).
