A NEW online resource dedicated to finding some of the oldest Scottish fiddle music has launched.

Dr McGregor, creator of the research and the online resource, said: “This new resource points researchers and performers alike to the earliest manuscript sources, and we hope that it will lead to greater exploration and interest in Scotland’s early fiddling traditions."
The database can be found at hms.scot.
