The Miscellany books don't come with music attached to the dances.
However, there are two books of music edited by the late Nan Main (a
well-respected RSCDS pianist in her day) that do contain
somewhat-canonical tunes for a number of the dances in Miss Milligan's
Miscellany, many of which were composed by Nan M. herself, but there's
also a good smattering of traditional tunes. For `Gramachie', one of
these books suggests a tune by the name of `Provost Skene's House' (by
Nan M.), and since that is also the tune recorded by Muriel Johnstone,
widely regarded as the current _grande dame_ of SCD music, this is
probably as good as it gets for the dance as far as the RSCDS is
concerned.
