Have you ever been to Inverary Castle in Argyll, Scotland.
Inverary Castle has been the seat of the Dukes of Argyll, chiefs of Clan Campbell, since the 18th century.
I'm looking forward to returning to visit the castle and also Inverary Highland Games this summer.
Here are some Scottish fiddle tunes played in front of the castle when I took a tour to the area as part of our Scottish music & cultural heritage tour.
This year, I'll be in the area with a lovely group of people from the US on our 'Back to Nature Retreat' in the area.
The retreat is from July 20th to July 26th. Spaces are still available.
Here is a link to find out more information: https://www.innervisionyoga.com/back-to-nature-retreat-in-scotland/
Please also feel free to reach out to me if you know anyone who might be interested in this July trip to Scotland, Argyll.
All the best for Memorial Day weekend.

🎻 Something special is coming to Varnam Strings — and spots are limited.
On Saturday, May 30th from 3:30–5:00 PM, we're hosting internationally recognized Scottish fiddle player and educator Colin MacLeod for a hands-on immersive workshop right here in Wilmington.
This isn't your typical masterclass. Colin teaches the way traditional music has always been passed down — by ear. No sheet music. Just listening, connection, and expression.
In this 90-minute session, you'll:
🎵 Learn a Scottish tune by ear
🎵 Explore rhythm, phrasing & style
🎵 Discover Celtic ornamentation
🎵 Build confidence without written music
Perfect for violinists and fiddlers at all levels — classical, Suzuki, Irish, bluegrass, old-time. If you've ever wanted to break free from the page, this is your workshop.
📍 Varnam Strings, Wilmington, NC
📅 Saturday, May 30 | 3:30–5:00 PM
