A NEW online resource dedicated to finding some of the oldest Scottish fiddle music has launched.

The searchable online database, which was created as part of PhD research at the University of Glasgow, will allow users to find original sources of tunes, as well as track information regarding the creators and collectors of the songs.

Dr McGregor, creator of the research and the online resource, said: “This new resource points researchers and performers alike to the earliest manuscript sources, and we hope that it will lead to greater exploration and interest in Scotland’s early fiddling traditions."

The database can be found at hms.scot.
