The Scottish Violinist

One of the best known and all time greats of Scottish fiddle music as both performer and composer James Scott Skinner (1843 - 1927) wrote many books of fiddle music.

James Scott Skinner (1843 - 1927) began playing fiddle by ear as a boy but then was offered classical tuition. His technique developed and he became one of the outstanding players of his day. From humble beginnings as a dancing master he went on to play at huge venues such as the London Palladium, sharing the bill sometimes with Harry Lauder. He made a conscious decision to make playing Scottish music his career though he could play other types of music too. He travelled widely throughout the Highlands and many anecdotes are told of his wonderful playing and his attire. He wrote over 600 tunes many of which are still very popular in the Scottish repertoire and contained in this book such as : Bonnie Lass of Bon Accord, The £10 fiddle, Cradle Song, The Flower of the Quern, etc. He lived long enough to have his music preserved on early recordings and from these we can hear what an amazing fiddler he was. He is buried in Aberdeen where the city erected a memorial in his honour. This book is full of his well known solos and has been a best seller for many years. 50pp Contents Alice's Dollie, Angus McRae, Angus Campbell, Arbeadie, Back to The Hills, Ballochmylle Brig, Balmoral Castle, Bank's Hornpipe, Blin' Jamie, Bob Steele, Bonnie Banchory, Bogniebrae, Bovaglie's Plaid, Buckingham House, Clach na Cuddin, Cortes Gardens, Corgarff Castle, Culloden Day, Currie's Rambles, Dargai, Davie Work, Davie Adams, Davie Taylor, Dean Brig o' Edinburgh, Delnabo, Dr Gordon Stables Reel, Dr Baird's Strathspey, Drumin, Dumbarton Castle, Emslie's Fiddle, Farewell to Huntly, Forbes Morrison, Frank Gilruth, Fyvie Castle, Gallaton, Gin ye kiss my wife I'll tell the minister, Glencoe, Hamilton's Strathspey, Happy Tom, Hap and Row the feeties o't, Harvest Home Hornpipe, Hasberry Howard, Hector the Hero, James Shearer's Reel, James D, Law’s Reel, Jamie Hardie, John McColl's, J.O.
