SCOTCH CAP, THE. AKA and see "Edinburgh Castle (1)." Scottish, English; Country Dance Tune (6/4 or 6/8 time). D Dorian. Standard tuning (fiddle). ABB (Sharp): AABB (Karpeles, Raven): AA'BB' (Barnes). The melody was published with directions for a country dance by London publisher John Playford in the first edition of English Dancing Master (1651) and was retained in all subsequent editions of the Dancing Master through the 10th edition of 1698. Commencing with the 4th edition of 1670 it appeared with the alternate title "Edinburgh Castle (1)." Williamson suggests the title might refer to a nightcap or last drink prior to retiring, otherwise he believes the composer would have referred to the Scottish head gear as a bonnet.
