SCOTTISH FIDDLING
Scottish fiddling differs from other Celtic and folk styles of fiddling, being more precise in it's execution and the energy of the playing, particularly noticeable in the rhythms common to the Strathspey. Of particular difference are the techniques of bowing, such as hack bowing, snap bowing and the Scottish Snap that contrast with the bowing patterns of Irish fiddling. There is a large repertoire of variations of rhythms and key signatures and a strong link to the playing of traditional Scottish bagpipes. For a more detailed description, history and discussion of Scottish fiddling, visit the Fiddling Around the World website here:
