Medleys

Scottish Country Dance Medleys are a combination of a Strathspey and either a Jig or a Reel or both.

Usually the Strathspey is performed first and then the dance is repeated in the prescribed Quick tempo with minimal changes (usually only where a Strathspey Figure, such as the Highland schottische setting step, has no exact equivalent in Quick tempo dances).

For example, here are some Scottish Country Dances categorized as Medleys-
