Mammy's Plaidie

Strathspey · 4/4 · A major

Mammy's Plaidie is a traditional-style strathspey in 4/4 meter and A major composed by the celebrated Scottish fiddler James Scott Skinner. As a strathspey, the tune features the characteristic dotted rhythms and snapped notes—known as the scotch snap—that drive traditional Scottish dance music. Because specific historical associations and exact composition dates for this piece are not definitively documented, it remains celebrated primarily through the enduring legacy of Skinner's published fiddle repertoire.
