Tour Scotland photograph of the James Scott Skinner painting in the McManus Galleries in Dundee, Scotland. James Skinner was born in Arbeadie village, in the parish of Banchory-Ternan, Aberdeenshire, on the 5th August 1843. James’s first published composition, Highland Polka appeared in a magazine when he was only 17. It was the first of more than 600 compositions to reach print. In 1917 his portrait, now in the McManus Galleries, Dundee, was painted by the artist J. Young Hunter. It was publicly presented to him at a ceremony at the Music Hall, Edinburgh.
