| Item Description | Manuscript, in Gavin Greig's hand, of the second tune on page 120 in Skinner's Harp and Claymore Collection. 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. Sandie, b. 1856, (or 'Sandy', a short form of Alexander) was the conductor of the Highland Strathspey and Reel Society, begun in 1903. He also made an innovative fishing rod, "The Grant Vibration Rod", based on principles of acoustical resonance. He experimented with violin design, and invented the 'Rondello', a fiddle with a round body. (One may be seen at the Inverness Museum and Art Gallery.) |
