CRAIG O'/OF BARN'S, THE. Scottish; Strathspey or Highland Schottische. G Minor (Alburger, Athole, Gow): A Mixolydian (Kerr). Standard tuning (fiddle). AAB (Alburger, Athole, Gow): AABB (Kerr). Craig-y-barns is a range of rugged heights near Dunkeld, Perthshire, Very likely written by John Crerar (1750-1840), who probably had lessons from Niel Gow at Atholl. Paul Cranford thinks the Cape Breton tune "MacKinnon's Rant" is related to this melody.
