| Item Description | Although Skinner credits Archie Allan of Forfar with the composition of The Dean Brig, this is not entirely certain. Allan died in 1831 aged 37. Skinner has made this copy in great haste - note the notes lacking stems in bars 9 and 10, as well as blots and splodges. It is very similar to the version which appears in Harp & Claymore. Skinner carries on the Peter Milne tribute theme here in the note at the bottom of the page: 'This, & many other beautiful old tunes, have been nursed & tended by Peter Milne.' |
