No Highland Games would be complete without the sound of the Pipes, but as you know there is a lot more to our musical heritage than the Pipes.
The Gathering aims to provide a full musical programme. There will be two major stages, each providing a wide selection of musical talent.
Over the two days you will be able to hear the dulcet tones of the Clasarch, the distinctive beat of the Bodhram , the driving force of the fiddle and the contemporary beat of Celtic Crossover.
You know, of course, that these musical traditions are the roots of American bluegrass, and one of the major sources of country and western music, which is still by far the most popular radio format in America.
With such a rich musical heritage and some well known performers rest assured that you won't be disappointed.
So, don't just come to listen! Come and participate - Start Now - try practising a few verses in the shower!
