History
This minor key reel probably comes from a Scottish strathspey, William Marshall's "Belhelvie House," which the Gow family published as "The North Bridge of Edinburgh." A County Fermanagh family manuscript from the mid 1800s has it as "The New Bridge of Eden."
The Irish reel may have been adapted by Mayo fiddler John McFadden of Chicago's Irish Music Club around 1900. James Morrison recorded it for Columbia in New York in 1935, and that recording spread it.
