BRIDGE OF SPEY, THE. AKA - "The Boat of Bog." Scottish, Strathspey ("Slow when not danced"). D Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AAB. Composed by William Marshall (1748-1833). The stone four-arched bridge across the river Spey at Fochabers was completed in 1804 and took three years to erect. Its cornerstone was laid by the Marquis of Huntly, the son of Marshall's employer the 4th Duke of Gordon, with great public ceremony.

Printed sources: Marshall, Fiddlecase Edition, 1978; 1822 Collection, p. 33. McGlashan (A Collection of Reels), c. 1786; p. 13 (appears as "The Boat of Bog").
