Ettrick Banks

Reel · 4/4 · F major

Ettrick Banks is a traditional Scottish tune of uncertain origin that first appeared in print during the early eighteenth century, notably in the 1726 edition of William Thomson's Orpheus Caledonius. The tune is typically played in common time with a measured, lyrical character that reflects the flowing, pastoral style characteristic of lowland Scottish fiddle music. While specific early historical associations beyond its regional name remain sparse, the melody has long been celebrated for its evocative charm and enduring popularity among traditional musicians.
