Kate Dalrymple

"Kate Dalrymple" is a traditional Scottish reel.

The melody was originally published as "The New Highland Laddie" in 1750.

[2] The Scots song associated with the melody of this name was written by William Watt, East Kilbride.

[3] It tells the comic tale of the eponymous muirland spinster who was ugly and unable to find a romantic partner.

Coming into an inheritance of fortune, she thereafter found a willing suitor.
