Ben Lomond
Ben Lomond is a traditional Scottish strathspey in D major with a four-four meter, though its exact composer and historical origins are not securely documented. Played in the characteristic dotted rhythm of a traditional strathspey, the tune requires a driving, articulate bowing style that emphasizes the robust character typical of highland dance music. While specific historical associations for this melody remain unrecorded, the tune is widely performed today within the standard repertoire of Scottish traditional music sessions.
