A Scottish Celebration of the Winter Solstice

Tickets now on sale!

December 1743:  For our 15th season, we transport you to the mid-1700s during a dark midwinter in the Scottish Highlands, when the Laird's neighbors gather at his great manor-house to celebrate Hogmanay, or New Year's Eve.  Tempers flare as the Clans converge, then subside when the guests mingle, singing much-loved melodies, taking a cup together, dancing lively reels and jigs, and relating favorite stories.  Suddenly, an unwelcome visitor appears.  Then, a mystery guest is revealed.  Finally, a child's questions elicit a true understanding of the Yuletide.  

D'ye ken the pipes, d'ye heed the drums? Follow the call to explore this ancient and beloved time and place!
