SCOTCH CAP
In 1633 Charles I made his first visit to Edinburgh to be crowned In Scotland by the Archbishop of Canterbury. His insistance on full Anglican rites was part of his futile attempt to bring the Scottish church into line with the Church of England, and it infuriated the Scots and their many supporters in London. The title, “Scotch Cap or Edinburgh Castle,” may have been a sly reference to that crown,
Dean-Smith noted a connection in title and tune to “Blue Cap” (DM: 1651-1690) which would also refer to the Scots bonnet.
