Three-Mile Bridge, The

Strathspey · 4/4 · B minor

The Three-Mile Bridge is a traditional Scottish strathspey in four-four meter and the key of B minor, though its exact composer and historical origins remain uncertain. As a strathspey, it features a driving, dotted rhythm—often characterized by the characteristic Scotch snap—that demands a lively yet controlled bowing style from fiddlers. Because specific historical associations and early manuscript sources for this tune are not well documented, its performance relies on the idiomatic phrasing and ornamentation standard to traditional instrumental playing in this genre.
