WHAT IS … THE ROLE OF SCOTS IN THE TRADITIONAL ARTS?
with STEVE BYRNE

With the passing of the Scottish Languages Act last year, Scots (along with Gaelic) finally got its long-overdue official recognition as one of Scotland’s national languages. Come and learn more about the cultural kist o riches, from the medieval makars to the Bothy Ballads in this session led by Scots speaker and singer, Steve Byrne, as he takes you through Scots’ central place in the Traditional Arts in Scotland. Stay on for a celebration of Scots song in the hands of its finest youthful exponents!
