| Item Description |
The Note, written by Skinner, reads: 'The above is the original Key. The Founder of the present style of Strathspey playing, the best all round player & composer of his day, his left hand was as accurate as a machine. Composer of 'The Pride a' the Dee' Valse, 'The Dean Brig' was revised by him, but it is not his composition. It was composed by Archie Allan, & named 'Mrs Gray of Carse'. The Rev. Mr Tough, Kinnord got hold of a copy & gave it to Davie, Aberdeen who published it as 'The Dean Brig' & gave the Minister a present o' the tune! C. Middleton Keith, then gave it in his books as Peter Milnes, unintentionally no doubt - but the Ministers & Peters names were ultimately withdrawn.' |
