Bonnie Annie Anderson

 BONNIE ANNIE ANDERSON. Scottish, Strathspey or Schottische. D Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AB. Composed by Scottish fiddling giant J. Scott Skinner, first appearing in print near the end of his life in his Cairngorum Series, No. 1 (1922). "Annie Anderson" is the name of a poem published in 1920 by James Kennedy, and perhaps the inspiration for Skinner's composition. The first stanza goes: I sat at e'en on Clochnaben, Neist day I clamb big Benachie, Whaur nature's charms sae gay an green Spread lavish to the longing ee; But naething bloomed sae blythe to see, In gloaming gray or noonday sun, As ae braw lass that smiled on me-- The Bonnie Annie Anderson. Printed source: Hardie (Beauties of the North), 1986; p. 19. Recorded source: A & M Records 79602 2000-2, Ashley MacIsaac - "Close to the Floor" (1992).
