Item Description Peter Milne, the 'Tarland Minstrel' was Skinner's first mentor. As a child, Skinner would accompany Milne's fiddle with the cello at country dances. Note the references to cats in the score: Skinner may have been taught these as a child by Milne. If the notes are played to suit the rhythm of the words, then they are played with the correct length and emphasis. The words must be said 'out-loud' or this technique can not work!
