Flowers of Edinburgh

According to a self-deprecating secondary report in A Native's Guide to Edinburgh by Tom Mc Rae,[1] the stench from the loch permeated the old city and probably gave rise to the traditional tune "The Flowers of Edinburgh." A more neutral perspective suggests that the tune dates from near 1740, may have been written by James Oswald though he didn't claim this."[2]
