The first volume of Highland Tunes for the Fiddle compiled and arranged by Christine Martin.

A lively collection of great Scottish Irish and Canadian tunes to add variety to your sets! The four books in the series 'The Ceilidh Collection for Fiddlers' have been best sellers in Scotland for more than 20 years with all ages and stages of fiddle players - a testimony to the great Scottish music contained in them. This volume contains some tunes which use more complex rhythms bowings and the keys up to three flats but most of the tunes are in A D or G. Another stunning collection of popular tunes for ceilidh dancing and solo performances. “The Ceilidh Collection has over eighty tunes arranged by type and hereis its real strength: if you’re playing at a ceilidh what you want is a set of tunes suited to the next dance and you want them quickly - mustn’t keep the dancers waiting. Well using this book you just turn to the page and away you go. It’s not just that the tunes are arranged by jigs reels waltzes or whatever but they are also arranged by dance.” “For anyone staring out in the business of playing for dancers the Ceilidh Collection is ideal. It has all the old favourites and a few newer ones for interest. It has nearly all the dances which are usually performed and a few titbits like the set for Burns Nigh and some airs. Nor is it just for fiddlers because everything is chorded. A thoroughly worthwhile publication.” - John Moar Orkney View Magazine

This book introduces fiddlers to 3rd position in a fun and exciting way by using well known Scottish tunes as the examples. It is a very popular book and can be used in on its own or in conjunction with a non-Scottish 3rd position book if supplementary fun material is required. Also included are some pages of 2nd position tunes to widen the interest in the uses of position work in fiddle playing and enable the players to tackle some of the material from Scott Skinner’s 'The Scottish Violinist' book and tunes from the 'Session' books some of which include position work.
