Annotation:Gladstone

According to the University of Aberdeen’s “Music of James Scott Skinner” site, A.A. Gladstone (no relation to the Prime Minister) was an admirer of Skinner who lived in Edinburgh. The melody was originally printed in Skinner’s Monikie Series No. 2, a publication that took its name from the town near Dundee in which Skinner lived until 1909, when his second wife left him.
