Scotland is internationally known for its traditional music, which has remained vibrant throughout the 20th century, when many traditional forms worldwide lost popularity to pop music. In spite of emigration and a well-developed connection to music imported from the rest of Europe and the United States, the music of Scotland has kept many of its traditional aspects; indeed, it has itself influenced many forms of music.

The fiddle joins the bagpipe and the harp as one of Scotland's oldest traditional musical instruments. While the harp was an important element of ceremonial and formal entertainment in the houses of principal families and the bagpipe played a significant part in Scotland's highland and military tradition, historically the fiddle has been the primary instrument for dance music and informal entertainment throughout the countryside of Scotland.
