It might be unclear to us why a beech tree thicket in the small village of Traquair became so famous as to attract visitors like Robert Burns, eager to see the famed "bush aboon Traquair". Probably the town's six alehouses also played an important part in Traquair reputation.
Whatever the reason, we can now enjoy the beautiful traditional Scottish Air with the same name in Geminiani's arrangement, taken from the "Treatise of good taste in the Art of Musick" (1749).
