EDINBURGH VOLUNTEERS' MARCH [2]. Scottish, Pipe March (2/4 time). A Mixolydian. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABBCCDD'. The march is attributed to Duncan Campbell (1814-1860) and appears in several Scottish collections for the Highland bagpipes, including Logan's Collection, Ross's Collection of Pipe Music, the Glendaruel Collection, and Donald MacPhee's collection. Campbell was originaly from Foss, on Loch Tummel, and was piper to the Duke of Atholl, to Sir Charles Forbes of Newe, and finally was Pipe Major of the Edinburgh Volunteers. One supposes that he might have been at Castle Newe when another Forbes employee, fiddler Alexander Walker, published his collection of Scottish music.
