"Methlick (Gaelic: Maothulach) is a village in Gordon District, Aberdeenshire, Scotland"

In one of my many books on fiddles, I remember reading a section where one of the older Hardie's (William Hardie Jnr.) returned from the village of Methlick and this was a reflection of their "Style" of fiddle music he conveyed to Bill Hardie. The whole line of Hardies for 200 years are called the "Fiddling Hardies"

I bet there are some Mudcatters that are Scots who know the village and know Alastair Hardie since he is a renowned Scottish fiddler.
