MARY SCOTT (NAIRN). Scottish, Marching Air (cut time). G Major (Cranford): A Major (Skinner). Standard tuning (fiddle). AAB. Composed by the great Scottish violinist and composer J. Scott Skinner (d. 1927). Cape Breton fiddler Angus Chisholm arranged the tune as a strathspey and it has become a favorite with Inverness County, Cape Breton, fiddlers, remarks editor Paul Cranford.

Source for notated version: learned by fiddler Brenda Stubbert (b. 1959, Point Aconi, Cape Breton) from Arthur Muise (Cheticamp, Cape Breton) who probably had it from either Cape Breton fiddler Cameron or Angus Chisholm [Cranford].

Printed sources: Cranford (Brenda Stubbert's Collection), 1994; No. 67, p. 24. Skinner (The Logie Collection).

Recorded sources: MMRCD1023, Jennifer Roland - "Dedication" (1997). Rounder CD 11661-7033-2, Natalie MacMaster - "My Roots are Showing" (2000. Angus Chisholm's version).
