COPSHAWHOLM FAIR. English, Waltz and Air. A song composed by David Anderson first printed in 1868 (but thought to have been written much earlier) about an early 19th century hiring fair that survived until 1912. Copshawholme is the English spelling of the Scottish Borders village of Coupshawhome or Copshaw Holm, now known as Newcastleton. The song is set to the Northumbrian pipe-tune "The Wild Hills o' Wannie".
