OVER THE CABOT TRAIL JIG. Canadian, Jig. Canada, Cape Breton. A Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. Composed by Mabou Coal Mines, Cape Breton, Nova Scotia, fiddler Donald Angus Beaton (b. 1912), an exemplar of the Mabou Coal Mines style of fiddling (Shears).
The Cabot Trail is a spectacularly scenic route through Nova Scotia and Cape Breton Island, named for the explorer John Cabot (who, while he explored for the English, was a Portugeuse named Cabato).
