| The Athole Collection of Scottish Dance Music is recognised as one of the principal sources in this field, compiled by James Stewart Robertson of Edradynate, Perthshire. He published his collection of 870 strathspeys, reels, jigs, hornpipes and country dances in 1884.

| Reprinted by the Highland Music Trust, this is a working volume for today’s players, omitting the rudimentary bass lines of the original but leaving the melody lines unaltered and the music grouped in keys. For the first time, notes have been provided on the sources of the tunes, with references to earlier and contemporaneous collections. These have been prepared by Charles Gore, compiler of the prestigious Scottish Fiddle Music Index.
The book reprints the Foreword by the late Duke of Atholl and Introduction by the great Scottish fiddler Alasdair Fraser, both from the 1996 edition.
There are 182 pages of music. Available in soft cover |
