 CAPE WRATH. Scottish, Strathspey. D Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AB. Composed by the great Scottish composer and fiddler J. Scott Skinner (1841-1927). Cape Wrath lies at the north-westernmost tip of mainland Scotland in Sutherland. There are cliffs on either side of the headland, with those to the west rising to over 200 meters high.
