Dr. Keith, Aberdeen

Strathspey · 4/4 · F major

Dr. Keith, Aberdeen is a traditional Scottish strathspey in four-four meter and F major, though its specific composer and early origins remain uncertain. As a strathspey, it is characterized by a brisk, dotted rhythm and a lively, spirited character that demands a punchy, articulated bow style from fiddlers. Because detailed historical associations and exact composition dates are not established for this tune, its significance rests entirely on its enduring place within traditional Scottish instrumental repertoires.
