Arthur's Seat

Hornpipe · 4/4 · G major

Arthur's Seat is a traditional hornpipe in four-four time and G major, with its exact composer and historical origins remaining unrecorded. The tune is typically played with the steady, bouncing rhythm characteristic of traditional hornpipes, giving it a lively and rhythmic character suited for dancing. Because specific historical associations and early manuscript sources for this setting are not reliably documented, musicians value the piece primarily for its appealing melodic contours within the standard Scottish and Irish repertoire.
