Exploring its rich and multifaceted tradition, this recollection details the functions and place of the fiddle in society using a variety of untapped resources, such as poetry by lesser-known writers, newspaper accounts, oral legends, and works of art. Starting with the introduction of the instrument in the latter part of the 17th century, this examination discusses fiddling at fairs and in processions, blind fiddlers, the lost art of singing while playing, fiddlers’ roles at weddings, and the legends about their connection to Scotland fairies. Music for 50 fiddling tunes is included, a number of which have been culled from historical or archival sources and are rarely found in present-day repertoires.

Scottish traditional music has been through a successful revival in the mid-twentieth century and has now entered a professionalised and public space. Devolution in the UK and the surge of political debate surrounding the independence referendum in Scotland in 2014 led to a greater scrutiny of regional and national identities within the UK, set within the wider context of cultural globalisation. This volume brings together a range of authors that sets out to explore the increasingly plural and complex notions of Scotland, as performed in and through traditional music. Traditional music has played an increasingly prominent role in the public life of Scotland, mirrored in other Anglo-American traditions. This collection principally explores this movement from historically text-bound musical authenticity towards more transient sonic identities that are blurring established musical genres and the meaning of what constitutes ‘traditional’ music today. The volume therefore provides a cohesive set of perspectives on how traditional music performs Scottishness at this crucial moment in the public life of an increasingly (dis)United Kingdom.
