Tory Island Highland, The

Strathspey · 4/4 · G major

The Tory Island Highland is a traditional tune from the isolated Irish-speaking community of Tory Island off the coast of County Donegal. Despite its name classifying it as a highland, its musical structure and 4/4 meter align closely with the regional fiddle style of the Donegal tradition. The tune is played in G major with a lively, rhythmic character that showcases the distinctive bowing techniques and ornaments of northwestern Irish fiddling.
