Craig-a-Bhodaich

Strathspey · 4/4 · A mixolydian

Craig-a-Bhodaich is a traditional-style strathspey composed by the renowned Scottish piper and master instructor Donald MacLeod. Written in 4/4 meter and anchored in the A mixolydian mode, the tune exhibits the characteristic rhythmic drive, dotted figures, and brisk tempo associated with highland dance music. Specific historical associations for the piece are not widely documented, but it remains a celebrated and technically demanding item in the modern bagpipe repertoire.
