Braes Of Glendochart, The

Reel · 4/4 · D mixolydian

The Braes Of Glendochart is a traditional Scottish reel composed by Alexander McGlashan and published in his 1786 collection of reels and country dances. Written in 4/4 meter and the D mixolydian mode, the tune features an energetic character well suited for spirited fiddle playing and lively dancing. Historical records indicate that McGlashan was a prominent Edinburgh musician and bandleader during the late eighteenth century whose publications captured the popular dance music of the era.
