Hi Willie-O.

My niece used to work at Balnain House in Inverness, which might be a good source of information and Scottish-music-related things to attend.

I also vaguely remember her telling me that Dougie McLean's house is a visitable place - maybe sessions or concerts there?

She lives back in Ottawa now, so I could put you in contact with her if you want more info. Now that I think of it, I think she had some kind of connection with the Celtic Connections festival too.

So how's that workshop coming along? You'll have my cello ready before you leave, I trust?
