Jig Runrig, The

Jig · 6/8 · D major

The Jig Runrig is a traditional-style jig composed by the accordionist and bandleader Fergie MacDonald. Written in 6/8 meter and D major, the tune features an upbeat, driving character well-suited for Scottish country dancing and ceilidh playing. Because the piece is of modern composition by a known tradition-bearer rather than an older anonymous source, it lacks deeper historical associations beyond its creation within the Scottish dance music revival.
