MISS DRUMMOND'S FAVORITE. Scottish, Slow Strathspey. E Minor. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. Composed by Biography:Robert Petrie (1767-1830), born in Kirkmichael, Perthshire. Neil (1991) relates that the Drummonds were a famous Perth family, though originally the clan was from a Stirlingshire place called Drymen (from which the name Drummond is thought to have derived). In 1360 a clan feud with the Monteiths displaced them and they moved into Perthshire where they acquired considerable land and possessions over the years. Fervert Jacobites, a regiment was raised by Lord John and fought at Culloden in 1745, where another Drummond lord died on the field.
