Ray Milbourne is a pianist who played with various bands including Frank Reid’s. He was also the founding secretary of the National Association of Accordion & Fiddle Clubs.

Some sources, including the Scottish Dance Archives, mention a Reel “Glenfiddich” by Derek Haynes, identical to “Ray Milbourne”. It is not clear if this is a mistake, or if Derek first wrote this dance under that name, and then changed the name to avoid a name collision with the “Glenfiddich” by Hugh Foss.
