The Harp and the Claymore: J. Scott Skinner
The Harp & Claymore Collection is James Scott Skinner’s ‘magnum opus’ – his biggest collection of dance music, airs and songs was published. The collection was edited by Gavin Greig M.A. (1856-1914), schoolmaster, essayist, playwright, organist and folk-song collector. It is made up of dance music, airs and songs, all with a decidedly ‘Scottish‘ slant. Skinner was wrote down tunes that he had picked up through others’ playing, often handed down through the generations. Some of these tunes, along with many of his own, were presented back to the Scottish people they had come from through this volume.
