| Item Description | This early image of Skinner and his brother Sandy may have originally been intended as a publicity portrait. It shows the brothers in smart suits, complete with waistcoats, cravats and watch chains. Both seem to be holding their fiddles awkwardly. Sandy Skinner taught his young brother James to play the fiddle. The brothers taught dance and played together for many years. |
