I'm a renaissance lute player from Warsaw, Poland, a student of Mr
Anton Birula. Quite soon, in about a month, I'll be playing a concert
on a conference devoted to Scottish position in Europe, organised by
Warsaw University ([1]http://www.scotlandineurope.angli.uw.edu.pl/). In
order of that, I would like to play also some Scottish renaissance
works. Unfortunately, I couldn't find any tablatures neither in music
bookshops in Poland nor on the internet (the only music sheet I have
found were some simple pieces by John Skene, composed on 5-string
mandora). If you could be so kind and, by chance, be able to help me in
any way, please let me know.
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:
