The Kirrie Kebbuck was a large cheese that the Laird o' Thrums (A MacPherson) cut up with a saw. It is possible to imagine him doing this in time to the music! Click on cd25b to hear Skinner's recording. The Thrums Cairn also relates to Kirriemuir (Angus, Scotland). 'Thrums' was the name for Kirriemuir made popular by J M Barrie in his book, 'A Window in Thrums'.
