Laird O' Bemersyde, The

Strathspey · 4/4 · A major

The Laird O' Bemersyde is a traditional Scottish strathspey in 4/4 time and A major that was composed by the renowned fiddler James Scott Skinner. As a strathspey, it features a characteristic dotted rhythm and a lively, driving character that demands a precise, articulated bowing style from the performer. The tune is closely linked to the historic Border family of Haig, whose ancestral home is Bemersyde House on the River Tweed.
