How is Scottish TM different from Irish TM?

Also, it seems to have a lot more of what I would call “reverse syncopation” (I’m sure that’s the wrong term), where the sixteenth note comes before the dotted eighth.

The right term is scotch snap. It’s the characteristic that turns a reel into a strathspey.

Thanks! Didn’t know that, although “scotch snap” has a slightly different connotation at our sessions!
