KINGDOM OF FIFE, THE. Scottish, Country Dance Tune (9/8 time). G Mixoldyian (Young): G Major. (Johnson). Standard tuning (fiddle). AAB. This melody appears in the Bodleian Manuscript (in the Bodleian Library, Oxford), inscribed "A Collection of the Newest Country Dances Performed in Scotland written at Edinburgh by D.A. Young, W.M. 1740." Scottish musician and dancing master David Young also included it in another of his large manuscript collections, the MacFarlane Manuscript (c. 1740), produced around the same time as his Bodleian MS. The 9/8 jig was also published in John Johnson's Choice Collection of 200 Favourite Country Dances, vol. 3 (London, 1744), and in John Walsh's Compleat Country Dancing-Master, volume the Fifth (London, 1754).
