Hop on This Musical Tour of Northern Scotland

Sept 30, 2022 — If you are a fan of Scotland and/or love fiddles, we have a great armchair visit in store for you, complete with short videos of mini-concerts on scene. Mrs. Topretirements, aka Lucy Burdette, set up this tour for us and 5 friends last month with one of America’s top fiddlers and one of northern Scotland most accomplished tour guides. We visited Wick (famous for its herring fisheries early in the last century) and then took overnight ferries to the Orkneys and Shetland Islands. We saw the haunts of the fictional detective, Jimmy Perez, created by author Ann Cleese, along with prehistoric standing stones and homes from 4,000 B.C. It was a great tour, and Lucy’s blog on Jungle Red makes you feel you were there. You will love the music!
