At Gregor Borland’s  Fiddlingscool™fiddle camps,  you get more than just a tune... More than just the notes… You get the full  enchilada!  The tune, the bowing, bow management, ornamentation and the essence  of the tune – 
these are the most important parts of learning this kind of music.

It is a language, so to be understood you need all of the tools at your fingertips.

Hatton  Castle was built around 1575 by Laurence,
the 4th Lord Oliphant, on the lands  given to Sir William Olifard by Robert the
Bruce in 1317 for his support in the  Wars of Independence. Lessons are given in
the great hall and, like the bodega  in Spain, the acoustics are amazing.

Foyers Fishing Lodge Loch Ness   

Picture







Full of character and charm with plenty of space to get together, yet also to spread out and find some serenity, Foyers Lodge is ideal for all ages and tastes.

Once the Foyers Hotel, this Victorian house was built c.1860 and lends itself beautifully to being a very comfortable large holiday cottage in Scotland.

At Gregor Borland’s  Fiddlingscool fiddle camps,  you get more than just a
tune... More than just the notes… You get the full  enchilada!  The tune, the
bowing, bow management, ornamentation and the essence  of the tune –
these are the most important parts of learning this kind of music.

Casa Rotja, situated in the Albaida valley at the foot of the Sierra Grossa, was originally built as a 17th Century farm, remodelled in 1889 and again in 2002. It consists of 2 houses and the original large bodega, where the fiddle lessons are generally given. It is noted for its fabulous acoustics!
