  • Rockness and Music Festivals in Scotland  By : Andrew Kelly
    Scotland is know throughout the world for many things including tartan and bagpipes and when many are asked about Scottish music it is the bagpipes that most bring to mind first. The bagpipes appear all over Scotland and many of the most popular tourist attractions often feature a piper in full traditional dress banging out a few well known tunes. Used heavily in warfare the sound of the bagpipes is very distinctive, and many would describe it as terrifying however there is much, much more to Scottish music than bagpipes and ceilidh bands. In recent years the UK has seen a massive increase in the number of annual music festivals and in Scotland there are a few well worth a mention such as the relatively new Rockness music festival near Inverness.

  • The Isle of Harris & Ceol na Mara  By : Phil MacDonald
    The Outer Hebrides (also known as the Western Isles) of Scotland are the very centre of Gaeldom. The Gaelic language is spoken in places around the globe but it is most widely spoken in the Hebrides where it is the native language. Incredibly poetic the language contains the most amazing phrases for things such as the sound of the sea which is "Ceol na Mara" (the closest English translation of Ceol na Mara is "the music of the sea").
