Scottish fiddlers have their own styles of ornamentation, and a particularly strong repertoire.
There are identifiable regional variations - that of the North East (Banchory and Fochabers); of Shetland (a separate category), the North-West (much influenced by Gaelic traditions - and in turn a strong influence on the Cape Breton fiddling heritage).
