I found limited info on Google, the site below has "Flesh Market Close" as a reel another site lists it as a jig.

The site won't let you in deeper without password etc. But it does list the tune you are looking for. So try looking for bagpipe music. I hope this can steer you in the right direction.
Found a midi at:

They titled it "Fleshmarket close."

Didn't see anything about the history of the tune but you can find a bit of information about the street here http://www.edinburghpubguide.com/trails.htm
under the old town heading
It seems the street was named Fleshmarket due to the meat market that used to be there.

Sorry Chuck
I thought that you wanted the tune. Go to the site below for FLeshmarket Close. It was the butchers close (area) in Edinburgh.
I believe the Celts, and Anglo-Saxons didn't have the word MEAT until the Normans arrived. And they used the word Flesh to describe meat of game or domestic animals.
