Craigellachie Brig

Strathspey · 4/4 · D major

Craigellachie Brig is a traditional-style strathspey in 4/4 meter and D major composed by the celebrated Scottish fiddler William Marshall. The tune is characterized by its dotted rhythms and snappy phrasing, requiring a lively and articulated bowing style typical of traditional Scottish dance music. While specific historical associations for the piece are uncertain, it is named after the famous cast-iron bridge over the River Spey designed by Thomas Telford.
