Arniston Castle

Strathspey · 4/4 · D major

Arniston Castle is a traditional Scottish strathspey in four-four meter and the key of D major, though its exact composer and origin remain uncertain. The tune is characterized by a lively, dotted rhythm and a spirited character well suited to traditional fiddling and highland dancing. Because the historical record provides no verified early associations or specific dates for its composition, the piece is best appreciated through its enduring place in the traditional Scottish instrumental repertoire.
