RUMBLING BRIDGE, THE. Scottish, Reel (cut time). A Mixolydian. Standard tuning (fiddle). AAB. The melody appears in John and Andrew Gow’s A Collection of Slow Airs, Strathspeys and Reels (London, c. 1795). Andrew (1760-1803) and younger brother John (1764-1826) established a publishing business in London in 1788 and were the English distributors for the Gow family musical publications. The Rumbling Bridge [1] is located above a chasm on the Bran south-west of Dunkeld in Perth and Kinross, Scotland, and was originally built in 1713 by William Gray, a mason from Saline. A nearby hamlet takes its name from the structure. The bridge spanned a narrow gorge and the rushing water of the River Devon below makes a constant sound. Later, in 1816 (long after the Gow’s publication), there was a second bridge built on top of the first one, so that it is in effect a double bridge. This wider arch gave greater width to the road and removed the steep gradients down to the old bridge.
