Whiteadder Jig was written by internationally beloved SCD pianist, Muriel Johnstone. Muriel is a native of Ardrossan, North Aryshire, Scotland, and now lives on Vancouver Island, Canada. The Royal Scottish Country Dance Society recognized her service to Scottish Country dancing and music by awarding her the Society’s Scroll of Honour in 2002. (source)
The dance takes its name from a river named the Whiteadder Water, which joins the Tweed in Berwickshire, ending there just short of Berwick-upon-Tweed and the North Sea. Other dances in the collection are named for various aspects of the environs where the Blackadder Water joins the Whiteadder, near Allentown, which was once part of the Blackadder Estate and was famous for tailoring at the beginning of the 20th century.
