There is a large amount of Scottish lute music, edited in two volumes by Ronn McFarlane, published by Mel Bay. Mostly these come from Scottish manuscripts in the first few decades of the 17th century, though there are two pieces from the Jane Pickering manuscript. Here is a public domain source (but without tablatures) for the Skene ms., which contains some pieces in lute tuning as well as mandora: https://archive.org/details/ancientscotishme00daun Geoff -- Geoff Gaherty Foxmead Observatory Coldwater, Ontario, Canada http://www.gaherty.ca http://starrynightskyevents.blogspot.com/ To get on or off this list see list information at http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~wbc/lute-admin/index.html
