This lists a lot of Scottish events and clubs. I don't know how up to date it is. You may have more luck with the local papers when you arrive there.

Thanks Giok, quite an interesting site.
I think I will find some music there.

There's also a useful source of info on the Footstompin' website in the "Guides" section.

The musicinscotland list is concerts only, no sessions.

I'd suggest asking on the forum at www.footstompin.com.

Dunoon: I believe there are Sunday afternoon sessions in the Lorne Bar on Argyll Street.

Not sure about elsewhere in Argyll - possibly things in Tarbet, or Campbeltown, though...

I can't help with Kintyre or Cowal, but when I was on Arran earlier this year there were four sessions a week there. I went to one at Kildonan and one at Whiting Bay, on Monday and Thursday I think it was. At Kildonan the session was led by two people using amplification (but not too much). They encouraged me to join in from the floor with my concertina, and stopped from time to time for other floor singers. My wife, who is not very "folky", really enjoyed it. The Whiting Bay session was more conventional.
