BRIDGE OF DEE [2], THE. AKA - "Brig o' Dee (2)." Scottish, Reel. D Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AAB. The companion reel to the strathspey of the same name (for which see "[[Brig o' Dee (1) (The)"), also composed by James Young (1815-1851). Young was born in Montrose, the son of a violin/fiddle maker. and at the age of twenty-two, in 1837, he moved to Aberdeen to work as a teacher and leader of the orchestra in the Theatre Royal, Marischal Street.
James's older brother John Young (c. 1812-1884) was also a violin maker, well-known in Aberdeen. He repaired the J. Scott Skinner's father's violin "in order that he might learn again with the left hand having shot off some fingers at a marriage" (handwritten note accompanying Skinner's manuscript copy of "Brig o' Dee").
