"Kate Dalrymple" is a traditional Scottish reel. The melody is based on an ancient folk-tune. There are accompanying words in Scots, written by William Watt. It tells the tale of the eponymous spinster.

The National Portrait Gallery in London has a painting of the real Kate Dalrymple, a society beauty in her youth.

It is used by the BBC as the theme music for the BBC Radio Scotland dance music programme Take the Floor.
