The Wedding Party
There was gale-force winds, horizontal rain and fallen trees, but Mrs Z. and I were determined to get to the at Strathpeffer tonight to join the wedding celebration. Joanne Morrison (known to diary readers as my long-suffering P.A.) had chosen this extra day in the calendar to get hitched to (legendary fiddler and all-round good guy).
The guest-list was awash with Scottish musical talent. Phil Cunnigham kicked off the evening dancing with a waltz he'd composed for the happy couple and confessed he had never before tried to play the accordion while wearing a kilt. He said he felt like one of the Alexander Brothers. We also met up with another fine fiddler in the shape of Bruce McGregor (currently hosting his own show on ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Radio Scotland!).
A great night - romance, music, whisky and stovies. Life doesn't get much better than this.
