Our Highland Queen

Strathspey · 4/4 · D major

Composed by the renowned Scottish fiddler James Scott Skinner, Our Highland Queen is a traditional-style strathspey set in the key of D major with a 4/4 meter. The tune features the characteristic dotted rhythms and driving tempo typical of Scottish dance music, requiring a precise and spirited bowing technique. While specific historical associations or events linked to the piece are not definitively established, it remains a celebrated example of Skinner's mastery within the strathspey genre.
