Devised in April 1963 by Bob Campbell of Ontario, Canada who died in February 1993 after a long struggle with
cancer. Stronshiray is the former name of the part of south-west Argyll from which his family came. The
recommended music, by the same name, was composed by Nan Main and an alternative tune, Miss Irene Fidler’s
Strathspey, was composed by Christopher Blair.
