Excellent performance!
N.B. I've got a recording of Scott Skinner himself playing "The Laird of Drumblair" and the speed is very similar to this performance (allowing for early recording techniques). If it was good enough for the "Strathspey King" in 1910 then it is good enough for me today.

@murrmac You're absolutely correct-and point taken- this would be too fast if played for dancing "real" strathspeys- but in while much Scottish music and dance was transplanted to places in the north of Ireland, the music and the dancing changed when it did. It's not a new phenomenon- recordings of older fiddlers from Donegal exhibit greatly boasted tempos to match the dancing there. Reels and Hornpipes from that area are brisk as well.

@ceadachrua thing is, the strathspey is a dance, and a very graceful dance too. If any lassie tried to dance to this, she would end up with multiple fractures to the toes and ankles. I am all for speed fiddling in the appropriate place and time, but please, not when playing a strathspey.
Incidentally, both these tunes are Scott Skinner compositions, not just the second one.

@murrmac Calm yerself, remember this is Donegal style fiddling- strathspeys get played faster in this style than they do by most modern Scottish trad players.
