John Drewry wrote in the original description that the dance was for Alistair Reid of Muchall’s Castle near Stonehaven.
Elsewhere the remark has been made that this dance should be called “Flour o’ the Quern” as a Quern is a grinding stone.
Ron Russell wrote the following:
As I understand it (although not a Gaelic speaker), a quern (pronounced ‘kern’) is Gaelic for ‘hollow’.
A verse is included as a dedication in James Scott Skinner’s original sheet music (see http://www.abdn.ac.uk/scottskinner/display.php?ID=JSS0750):
The flowers grow fair on the lowland vales, <BR> an’ green grow the wids on the braes, <BR> an’ saft an’ low sing the scented gales <BR> in the lang, lang simmer days; <BR> But dearer to me are the mountains blue <BR> where grow the heath an’ fern, <BR> an’ the bonniest flo’er is the ane I lo’e <BR> that blooms ‘mang the braes o’ the Quern.
I believe this verse is by J. Gordon Phillips

The Name of this Dance
Ron Russell · Feb. 14, 2014, 11:56 a.m.
I often hear comments that this dance should be called “Flour o’ the Quern” as a Quern is a grinding stone.
As I understand it (although not a Gaelic speaker), a quern (pronounced ‘kern’) is Gaelic for ‘hollow’.
A verse is included as a dedication in James Scott Skinner’s original sheet music:
http://www.abdn.ac.uk/scottskinner/display.php?ID=JSS0750
The flo-ers grow fair on the lowland vales,
an’ green grow the wids on the braes,
an’ saft an’ low sing the scented gales
in the lang, lang simmer days;
But dearer to me are the mountains blue
where grow the heath an’ fern,
an’ the bonniest flo’er is the ane I lo’e
that blooms ‘mang the braes o’ the Quern.
I believe this verse is by J. Gordon Phillips
