This tune is part of the following collections:
Music

In 1505 the Barber Surgeons of Edinburgh were incorporated as a Craft Guild in the City of Edinburgh. A year later King James IV granted this body a royal charter on the 9th October 1506. After the surgeons broke away from the barbers in 1745, they formed what was to become the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh.

The Surgeon's Triumph was composed by James Scott Skinner; I've no idea to what Skinner's title refers. I have paired it with a traditional jig.
