STRATHBOGIE EDITOR, THE. Scottish, Reel (2/4 time). A Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AA’B. Composed by the renowned Scottish fiddler-composer James Scott Skinner (1843-1927), in honor of Mr. Joseph Dunbar, Huntly. Dunbar was the publisher and editor of the Huntly Express and, in the year of Skinner's death, was appointed Justice of the Peace for Aberdeenshire. A penned note on Skinner’s original manuscript reads: “In imitation of Nathaniel Gow’s ‘Fairy Dance’ in which the Writer’s friends think he has succeeded.”
