Blue Bonnets Over The Border

Jig · 6/8 · A major

Blue Bonnets Over The Border is a traditional Scottish melody with an uncertain exact origin and no verified composer. Set in A major with a 6/8 meter, it is played as a lively jig featuring a rhythmic and energetic character suited for dance accompaniment. The tune's title alludes to the historic crossing of the Anglo-Scottish border by Scottish troops, famously reinforced by Sir Walter Scott's use of the phrase in his 1820 novel The Monastery.
