Alicia Scott, née Alicia Ann Spottiswoode (24 June 1810 – 12 March 1900) was a Scottish songwriter and composer known chiefly for the tune, "Annie Laurie", to which the words of a 17th-century poet, William Douglas, were set. She was the oldest daughter of John Spottiswoode of Berwickshire and his wife Helen Wauchope of Niddrie-Mains. On 16 March 1836 she married Lord John Douglas Scott, a younger son of the 4th Duke of Buccleuch, and consequently is alternatively known by her courtesy title of Lady John Scott.〔Preface by Margaret Warrender (March 1904) in (''Songs and Verses'' ) by Lady Jane Scott, Edinburgh: David Douglas, pp. i–lxiv〕 Lord John Scott died in 1860. Lady Scott was a champion of traditional Scots language, history and culture, her motto being 'Haud () fast by the past'.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.scottishpoetrylibrary.org.uk/poetry/poets/lady-john-scott )〕 "Annie Laurie" was published in 1838. Scott was born and died at Spottiswoode, Scottish Borders, in the former Berwickshire. ==Works== Selected works include: *''Annie Laurie'' *''Katherine Logie'' *''Lammermoor'' *''Shame on Ye, Gallants!'' *''Etterick'' *''Your Voices Are Not Hush'd'' *''The Foul Fords'' *''Duris-Deer'' *"Think On Me" 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Alicia Ann Spottiswoode」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
