LODGE OF GLEN-TANA, THE. AKA and see "Glentana." Scottish, Strathspey. F Sharp Minor. Standard tuning (fiddle). AAB. Composed by Biography:J. Scott Skinner [1] (1843-1927), first appearing in his Elgin Collection of 1884, the cost of its publication contributing to Skinner's bankruptcy a few years later.

J. Scott Skinner

Skinner reprised the tune in his Logie Collection of 1888 under the name "Glentana" ("It has been authoritatively settled that 'Glentana' is the proper spelling") and dedicated the tune to Lacy Brooks.
