Reel of Tulloch Bagpipes played by an unknown piper
Very little reliable information is know as to the origin of Strathspeys and Reels, but they are known to have been danced towards the end of the 17th Century and Jacobite days. The Reel of Tulloch originated in the North East Village of Tulloch one winter morning long ago when the minister was late in arriving. The assembled congregation, waiting outside the church doors, stamped their feet and clapped their hands to keep warm and as someone began to whistle a Highland Air, some people started swinging by the arm and dancing their Reel steps.
