SCOTLAND - May/June 2002
Again as in 2001, David and Brenda motor north, with the usual first stop in Moffat, visiting Wanlockhead and Traquair House. Moving on to Dalmally from where we went to St. Conan's Church, Lochaweside; Kilmartin and Carnasserie Castle.There followed a stay with the MacLeods on Skye calling also to see the 'Ladies' in Kinlochewe. Leaving Skye we crossed the Minch to Tarbert on Harris visiting many of the historic sites. Returning to Skye for a few days, before two nights in Dalmally with John and Jinty Burke. Before returning home we broke our journey at Queensbury House in Moffat.
About Me
- Dave
- Burton on Trent, Staffordshire, United Kingdom
- I was born in Llandrillo-yn-Rhos in North Wales, and educated at Paston Grammar School, North Walsham, Norfolk and at Ryhope Grammar School near Sunderland in County Durham. Career in Architecture, and a keen amateur musician and I have held several church organist and choirmaster posts. My "Nunc Dimittis" had its first performance in Ann Arbor, Michigan, USA, and my "Hail Gladdening Light" was written for the Rolleston Festival of Music and Arts, of which I was Director. I was also the Founder and first conductor of the Rolleston Choral Society. Two of my non-choral pieces, "Distant Lands" and "Walking on the Clouds", were written during 2007 for my friend Chen Jie in Wuhan in China, and I composed a third piece for him in early 2008 called "Wuhan Festive March"- 武汉节日进行曲. In 2008 I met up with Chen Jie and realised the dream of a lifetime ~ I visited China. Amongst my other interests are genealogy, photography, philately and touring the Highlands and Islands of Scotland.
