Template:Short description Script error: No such module "Listen". "Kate Dalrymple" is a traditional Scottish reel. The melody was originally published as "The New Highland Laddie" in 1750.[1] It was recorded by Jimmy Shand in 1955.[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.
It is used by the BBC as the theme music for the BBC Radio Scotland dance music programme Take the Floor.
