'''TRIP TO INCHCOMB, A.''' Scottish, Country Dance Tune (whole time). G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. The name Inchcomb is a derived form of the Old English pre-7th Century habitational word ''Henchcumbe'' - translating as "the steep valley." However, in the case of this tune title, the name probably refers to Inchcolm Island in the Firth of Forth, Scotland, whose name derives from the Scottish Gaelic ''Innis Choluim'', meaning Columba's Island.

As the name 'Columba' implies, there is evidence of Christian habitation from an early time, and later a monetary and then and abbey were built on the island. | '''TRIP TO INCHCOMB, A.'''
