Scottish fiddle orchestras are large ensembles that celebrate the rich tradition of Scottish fiddle music, which is central to Scottish folk culture.
These orchestras typically consist of a large group of fiddle players accompanied by other instruments, such as piano, accordion, double bass, and percussion.
They perform a range of traditional Scottish music, including reels, jigs, strathspeys, airs, and marches, often arranged to highlight the dynamic and energetic nature of the genre.
