What I've learned about Scottish fiddling, is that Cape Breton is a densely populated with fiddlers MECCA for Scottish music of the old highland style. When the highlanderrs were chased out of their homes, the ones who settled in Cape Breton kept their highland culture and their vibrant style of playing music going, which is a more "wild" and less refined style than what you hear in Scotland. Haven't been to Cape Breton yet myself, but love that music. If you do, look up Glencoe Hall. It's a dance hall well known for attracting some of Cape Breton's best musicians to play for the dances. Have you heard Buddy MacMaster? He's Natalie's uncle and a great fiddler!He has taught workshops at Valley of the Moon camp in California, and is a true inspiration. If I were in your shoes, and had to choose one or the other, I'd choose Cape Breton.
