"Lady Madelina Sinclair" also known as "Lady Madeline Sinclair" and "Braes of Aberarder" and "The Tailor's Wife" is a Scottish strathspey in A Major (most versions), A Mixlydian (Ross) or G Major (Kennedy, Surenne). The parts are played AB (Hardie, Kerr, Surenne), AAB (Athole, Balmoral, Glen, Gow, Honeyman, Hunter, Kennedy, Martin, Ross, Skye). Lady Madelina Sinclair (1772-1847) was the second daughter of Alexander, 4th Duke of Gordon. Her first husband was Sir Robert Sinclair of Murtle, who died in 1795 when she was twenty-three. Her second husband was named Charles Fyshe Palmer Esq. of Luckley Hall, Berkshire. Niel Gow (1727-1807) claimed credit for the tune in the Gow's Third Collection of Strathspey Reels (1792) but Charles Duff had a prior claim to authorship of a prototype of the tune under the title "Braes of Aberarder," which he published in 1790.
