MR. EDWARD SIMPSON'S FANCY--EDINBURGH. Scottish, Reel. F Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AB. Composed by William Marshall (1748-1833). According to Marshall researcher Moyra Cowie (The Life and Times of William Marshall, 1999), Simpson was a member of the Marquis of Huntly’s staff at Huntly Lodge. However, Marshall specified "Edinburgh" in the title. There was an Edward Simpson who was a member of the Theatre Royal's theater band in that city in the early 19th century. The leader of the band was always given a benefit by the management, and Simpson was so honored in 1811. Further, at least two tunes (a reel and a strathspey) were attributed to an Edward Simpson in Joseph Lowe's Collection of Reels... Book 4 (1844-45). A connection, if any, between these Simpsons is unknown at this time.
