Glengarry's Dirk

Strathspey · 4/4 · C major

Glengarry's Dirk is a traditional Scottish strathspey of uncertain historical origin, though its name links it culturally to the Scottish Highlands and the clan Donald of Glengarry. Written in C major and set in a four-four meter, the tune features the characteristic dotted rhythms and forceful snapped notes that define the energetic strathspey genre. It is typically played with a driving, rhythmic bowing style suited for traditional Scottish social dancing and fiddle accompaniment.
