BRIDGE OF CRAIGE, THE. Scottish, Reel (whole time). A Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AB. The first strain of "Bridge of Craige" is very similar to the first strain of Malcolm MacDonald's "Miss Anny Stewart, Bohally’s Reel;" the second strains much less similar but still retaining the same general melodic character.
