"Croppie's Strathspey", also known as "Mr. Douglas of Springwood Park" is a <br> Scottish strathspey in G Major. The parts are played AB (Hunter) or AA'B (Milne).<br> The tune has been attributed to Peter Milne (1824-1908), a mentor and sometimes<br> playing partner of J. Scott Skinner (1843 - 1927) known as "The Strathspey King".<br> However, there is some evidence it was actually composed by Alexander Givan of Kelso<br> whose name is attached to the "Mr. Douglas of Springwood Park" title.<br> The 'croppie' referred to in the title refers to a tenant farmer and not an Irish<br> revolutionary.<br> It was printed in Hunter's Fiddle Music of Scotland (1988) and<br> Milne's Middleton’s Selection of Strathspeys, Reels &c. for the Violin (1870).<br> It was recorded by Abby Newton on Crossing to Scotland (1997).<br>
