MISS PRIMROSE. Scottish, Strathspey. A Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AAB. Composed by J. Scott Skinner (1843-1927), published in his Harp and Claymore and Scottish Violinist collections in the first years of the 20th century. Skinner's manuscript copy [1] seems to suggest that "Miss Primrose" was his pet name for his "favorite Violin made by Mr Beveridge, Tough." Tough, in Aberdeenshire, was the home of William Beveridge (1821-1893), a maker and repairer of some repute and a contemporary and friend of Skinner's. William Meredith Morris, writing in British Violin Makers, remarks:
He made many violins, on no particular model, but which are quite artistic in appearance. The tone is never so good as the workmanship. Label : —
W. BEVERIDGE, FECIT, TOUCH, 1870
