Annotation:Aboyne Castle (2)

Composed by Peter Milne (1824-1908), a Scottish fiddler and one of J. Scott Skinner's teachers and, later, playing partner. Milne managed to make a living playing theater venues all over Scotland, but became addicted to opium in the drug laudanum, which he originally took as a pain-killer. Milne ended his life in reduced circumstances, busking on the ferry that crossed the Firth of Forth.
