@BikePacker78 yes, thats true about this piece, however the camp that generates this show is based on Scottish fiddle tunes. It's billed as the scottish fiddlers school when they perform, although they do branch out.

Someday I need to get to this workshop - my favorite celtic group, Kirkmount, got their start attending a Valley of the Moon Fiddle Camp when they were kids.
As many pointed out, this is not scottish music and dance traditions, these are norwegian tunes. Widen your horizons, not all fiddle music is irish/scottish.
At the end she starts on a traditional tune called Fanitullen.
Hardingfele (Hardanger Fiddle) is normally tuned a whole tone higher than a regular violin, with the resonating understrings tuned in various ways to resonate when the upper strings are played.
Very nice sound and very nice playing. Does anyone know if the hardanger is tuned like a mandolin? I know it has eight strings. Also is the string set up EADG?
Annbjorg plays Norwegian hardanger fiddle. Check out her albums! She was on faculty at this Scottish fiddle camp. Some histories of Scottish music mention a possible influence from hardanger fiddle. This clip introduced me to hardanger and now I'm hooked!
I heard the Hardanger in Glasgow about three years ago I must admit its a cracking Baroque instrument. Your right this style influenced the Scottish fiddle style especially the Shetland style which is almost practically identical although not played on a Hardanger.
Yes. While the brickadoodle's description talks about VOM teaching music of the Scottish tradition, in its 20+ year history, musicians from many related traditions have been invited to teach there. This video is of Ann-Bjorg Lien.
Does anyone else who was there remember the name of the song? I can't remember what she said it was called. : (

I maybe wrong, but it seems this woman is Annbjorg Lien, playing the hardingfele. So more northern than Scotland ;)

Wow. That Hardingfele has such a haunting and beautiful quality to its sounds. No doubt the work of those sympathetic strings.

The upper strings are probably tuned from bottom-up AEAC#. That kind of tuning is called trollstilt.

This is unmistakable a traditional norwegian tune played on a Hardanger fiddle or hardingfele (traditional norwegian instrument).
