CADGER O' CRIEFF, THE. Scottish, Reel and Country Dance Tune. A cadger is a carrier, originally a person who ferried customers about in sedan chairs (see note for "Cadgers of Cannongate") though later the word came to be a euphemism for a begger. Crieff is a town in Perthshire. The tune appears in the Bodleian Manuscript (1740), which reposes in the Bodleian Library, Oxford; it is inscribed "A Collection of the Newest Country Dances Performed in Scotland written at Edinburgh by D.A. Young, W.M. 1740." The melody also appears in Young's Duke of Perth (the personage to whom it was inscribed to), also called the Drummond Castle Manuscript (1734).
