Nighean Na Cailliche

Jig · 6/8 · A mixolydian

Nighean Na Cailliche is a traditional Scottish jig that lacks a verified composer or specific historical association. Set in A Mixolydian and written in 6/8 meter, the tune follows the classic rhythmic framework typical of traditional bagpipe and fiddle repertoires. Because its precise origins are undocumented, the piece is best appreciated through its lively melodic character and standard performance style within traditional Gaelic music.
