Transcription: by Darryl D. Bush
The tune was composed by Daniel (sometimes Donald) Dow (1732-1783)<br> in 1776 and first appeared in his Thirty Seven New Reels, c. 1780,<br> under the title "Sir Archibald Grant of Monymusk's Strathspey"<br> (Sir Archibald, the third Baronet, founded the town of Archiestown,<br> near Monahoudie Moss on Speyside. He died in 1796 in Aberdeenshire).<br> It takes it's name from an Aberdeenshire, Scotland, estate called<br> Monymusk House, long in the possession of the Grant family.<br> 'Moneymusk' is the 'Englished' version of the Gaelic words "Muine muisc"<br> meaning a 'noxious weed or bush'.<br> I learned it from print.<br>
