Castle Hatton
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. For information, prices and registration contact Gregor & Anne-Marie at the following email addresses. fiddlingscool@gmail.com or learnscotsfiddle@gmail.com www.fiddlingscool.com/ |
