A strathspey is a dance tune in 4/4, usually written in 1/8th notes. It is similar to a hornpipe but slower and more stately, and containing many snaps. A so-called "Scotch snap" is a short note before a dotted note. An example of a strathspey would be the song "Bonnie Banks of Loch Lomond", provided you sing it stuccato.
"You'll tak the high road, and I'll tak the low road, and I'll be in Scotland afore ya".
