KNOCKANDO HOUSE. Scottish, Strathspey. D Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AAB. Composed by William Marshall (1748-1833). It was thought by Collinson (1966) to be one of Marshall's best compositions, while Emmerson (1971) deems it "particularly celebrated." Knockando house is a late 18th century house overlooking the River Spey and Ballintomb Burn. It was occupied in Marshall's time by Captain Shanks of the Royal Navy.
