CASTLE SPYNIE. Scottish, Strathspey (whole time). D Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AAB. Composed by wikipedia:James_Scott_Skinner (1842-1927). Castle Spynie is an ancient ruin of a fort or broch situated on the top of a bare rock some 800 ft. above sea level in the Parish of Kirkhill, west of Moniack, Inverness-shire. The walls are 14 ft. thick and are made of undressed stones with no mortar.
The strathspey shares a page with Skinner's "Tune Your Fiddles" and "Fancy Ball (The)," which may be a purposeful juxtaposition in memory of a fancy ball at the castle.
