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 in Moray. It was occupied in Marshall's time by Captain Shanks of the Royal Navy. The village of Knockando is home to the Knockando distillery, which produces a fine single malt whisky.
