BRAES O' AUCHTERTYRE [2], THE. Scottish, "Pastoral Air" (Skinner) or Slow Strathspey (Honeyman). A Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). One Part (Hunter, Skinner): AB (Honeyman, Skinner/Harp). J. Scott Skinner, who fashioned a popular arrangement of the tune for his Harp and Claymore collection, said it was an "admired old air by Crocket." Honeyman (1898) agrees that "this grand melody was composed or adapted about the year 1723 by James Crocket (see note for version #1), but was first transposed from the key of C to that of A, and played as a slow strathspey by James Scott Skinner."

Source for notated version: Winston Fitzgerald (1914-1987, Cape Breton), "inspired by J. Scott Skinner's setting and by his friend Angus Chisholm" [Cranford].
