Bovaglie's Plaid

Strathspey · 4/4 · G major

Composed by the renowned Scottish fiddler James Scott Skinner, Bovaglie's Plaid is a traditional-style strathspey set in the key of G major. As a strathspey in 4/4 meter, it features the characteristic dotted rhythms and snapped notes—often called the Scottish snap—that drive this energetic dance form. The tune demands a precise and spirited bowing style to capture the robust, lively character typical of Skinner's finest instrumental works.
