I have found a Gaelic choir to join here in Edinburgh so will have to write another entry in a few weeks time to update you on how it is going. Best of luck with your Gaelic adventure!

It resonnates with me as I prepare for a Scottish Heritage Celebration planned for the end of October here on “the other side of the pond” in Pennsylvania. I have selected an assortment of songs from a large, beautiful book I inherited entitled “Vocal Melodies of Scotland.” It was published in the mid-1800s for Queen Victoria. While I consider it a very valuable resource I also consider it to be an odd blend of Gaelic and English — which of course is exactly what makes it accessible to non-Gaelic singers such as myself! Nevertheless, I read your blog with envy. It would have been nice to hear/learn/sing with you and your friends. Keep singing for us all!
