their arrangements of traditional fiddle music - reels, jigs, strathspeys and hornpipes - have audiences dancing in the
aisles.
The tradition of fiddler's rallies goes back centuries. It is this tradition that is proudly carried forward by the
Scottish Fiddle Orchestra.

music. Experience the exhilarating music and power of the massed fiddles in a programme that celebrates Scotland's proud
