Darling, The

Strathspey · 4/4 · A major

The strathspey titled The Darling is a traditional Scottish fiddle tune composed by Simon Fraser and published in his notable 1816 collection. Written in A major with a 4/4 meter, the tune is characterized by the distinctively bouncy rhythm, driving tempo, and ornamentation typical of traditional Highland dance music. While specific historical associations beyond its publication in Fraser's landmark collection are not widely documented, the piece remains a celebrated example of 19th-century Scottish fiddle repertoire.
