Administrative HistoryPeter Milne was born in 1824 in the village of Kincardine O'Neil. Milne earned the nickname of "The Tarland Minstrel" for his fiddle playing but, although he is associated most strongly with Tarland, he was in fact an itinerant fiddler who lived in a number of different places. He was also one of Scott Skinner's fiddle teachers. Milne died in 1908 at Aberdeen Poorhouse, Oldmill, Newhills.
