Hosted by Fèis Rois, this six-week course brings together harp players and singers interested in performing ancient Highland Gaelic songs. Taught by traditional Gaelic singer Christina Stewart and Bill Taylor, clarsach tutor, the course invites participants of all ages to join – from P6 to adult. No previous experience of singing in Gaelic is necessary. Harp players at all levels are invited, except pure beginner, as are harps of all sizes and stringing materials. Alongside 800 years of our town, 2026 also marks 95 years of Clarsach Society, which was formed in Dingwall at the close of the 1931 National Mòd.
