DALKEITH FAIR. Scottish, Reel (whole time). G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABC. "Dalkeith Fair" is said to have been a composition of Aberdeenshire fiddler-composer biography:William Marshall by James Davie in his Davie's Caledonian Repository, 1829-30), although this attribution has not been confirmed. The reel was published earlier in Edinburgh by Nathaniel Gow, c. 1812, in a flute anthology. A Highland bagpipe setting was published by John & Robert Glen, Edinburgh pipe-makers, in 1870. "Cadgers of the Cannongate" is a closely related fiddle tune dating to the mid-18th century.
Dalkeith Fair was for centuries an annual cattle and livestock fair.
