A question for Ian HP. Is it possible that the Reverend was Rev. John Skinner, Episcopalian minister of Longside near Peterhead, Aberdeenshire, born 1721 died 1807, author of Tullochgorm, The Ewie wi The Crookit Horn and The Old Man's Song?

Or Rev. James Nicol, 1769 - 1819, author of Where Quair Runs Sweet?

Regards, John
