Nine Mile Burn is a tune which borrows it's name from a Scottish town,
so named because it is located on a river 9 miles from Edinborough Castle.

It is also rumored that the name refers to the English practice of burning everything in a nine mile radius
after sacking a town or village (we understand this is no longer done). From what we know,
this does not appear to be true.
