FALLS OF DIVACH, THE. Scottish, Strathspey (whole time). D Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AAB. "The Falls of Divach" was composed by Jeanie Scott Skinner, the twelve-year-old daughter of wikipedia:James_Scott_Skinner (1843-1927), who played the piano and helped her father run his dancing classes.

The waterfall of Divach Burn (pronounced 'Jeevach') sends water tumbling 100 ft. to the River Coiltie, which empties into Urquhart Bay on Loch Ness.
