SOUTH BRIDGE OF EDINBURGH, THE. AKA and see "Haddington Assembly (The)." Scottish, Jig (6/8 time). G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB'. Johnson (1984) states the tune was composed by an anonymous fiddler undoubtedly in the autumn of 1787, to celebrate the opening of the South Bridge, a twenty-two arch structure that spanned the Calgate Valley. The tune is adapted from an earlier melody by oboist William Fraser (1760-1825), "Haddington Assembly (The)" by which title it was printed by the Gows in their 2nd Collection of Niel Gow's Reels (1788, p. 23), although it had first appeared in one of Dow's publications more than a decade earlier.
