I thought this might be a good one for the mighty collective brain of scots-l.
I'm working, through the Scots Music Group in Edinburgh, with an evening class of aspiring guitar accompanists, many of whom are quite new to traditional instrumental music. Mostly their current taste extends to Joni Mitchell, Eric Clapton, Nick Drake and such. I thought that one way to help them in might be to make an association between music and place, so I asked them to give me a place in Scotland that meant something to them, the idea being that I could then match the place to an appropriate tune. The list they gave me has mostly left me fairly stumped, however, which is where you come in. Anybody got any suggestions for links with the following places (could be the wider area as well as the specific place)? Here we go, in no particular order: Auchtermuchty, Ardentinny, Glenlivet/ Tomintoul, Dunbar, Glen Affric, Eigg, Rum, Melrose, Ullapool, Portavadie, Glenshiel, Glasgow. Thanks, folks!
