LONDON MARCH [1]. AKA - "Berkshire March (The)," "Cameronian March (1)," "Lord Loudon's March." English, March (4/4 time). England; Lincolnshire, Yorkshire. G Major (Cahusac, Merryweather & Seattle): D Major (Aird, Gibbons/Sumner, Manson). Standard tuning (fiddle). AAB (Merryweather & Seattle): AABA (Cahusac): AABB (Manson, Sumner). The first part of the tune, with a different second strain, is "Favorite Scotch Hornpipe/Scotch Hornpipe (1)" and "March of the Third Regiment of Guards" (also printed by James Aird). As "The London or Berkshire March" it was issued (on a single sheet?) by Edinburgh publisher Neil Stewart in 1795.
