The fiddle has long played an important part in Scottish musical tradition. Here in MacPherson's Rant and Other Tales of the Scottish Fiddle there are stories that reflect that importance. Whether the fiddle is in the hands of the notorious Highland freebooter MacPherson or being played by a young man learning a fairy tune, these tales reflect a traditional culture that is still thriving. Some of the stories are truly ancient while others quite modern, but all show that throughout Scotland there has long been a ready audience for music made by horsehair on catgut. Today as Scottish culture continues to thrive in the face of all the modern world can throw at it we should perhaps think on what Robert Burns once did to a friend, 'Lang may yer elbuck, jink an diddle.' In addition to introducing some of the most famous, as well as some of the lesser-known, tales of the Scottish fiddle, Stuart McHardy also examines the history of the instrument, its repertoire and the place the fiddle and the fiddler have played in Scottish culture over the centuries. The result is a lively and informative companion to one of the central elements of the Scottish musical tradition.

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.
