Item Description Delnabo, an attractive strathspey in E minor, is named after, Skinner writes, *The residence of the late Colonel Smith near 'Macpherson's cave'. Skinner suggests that his reel 'Mains of Gartly', from the Logie Collection, should follow it. He reminds the player that the third bar uses 'cross-bowing', bowing against the usual rhythm, and makes it clear that he expects the bass line to be played on the cello.
