Skinner's 'Dirge' [Lament] 'Glencoe' was written in memory of the Argyllshire village where 38 people were massacred in 1692. This is the final draft, the copy used by the printers when they set the music for publication. Afterwards, the publishers Bayley and Ferguson (London and Glasgow) returned the draft copy to Greig.
