The South West Scotland Collection

Ayrshire, Dumfries and Galloway, Scotland’s forgotten corner is home to Scotland’s most famous song writer Robert Burns. Yet the music of this region goes widely unrecognised. This collection represents the past, the present and the future of South West Scotland’s musical and cultural heritage, including fiddle and piano repertoire, old pipe music that has lain forgotten, and modern compositions from the region’s top players. It even includes a book specifically written for young learners, to get young hands playing and having fun learning about the heritage of South West Scotland. A collection of over 300 tunes with historical notes and folklore with each tune, these books are the regeneration of a lost tradition, heritage and culture, and ensure the music of South West Scotland continues into the next generation and beyond.
