Scotland by Ear
Experience Scotland through listening, story, and music — not crowds, checklists, or rushing. Join Scottish fiddler and cultural guide Colin MacLeod for a 12-week live online journey through Scotland's regions, history, and everyday life, woven together with traditional fiddle music.
Not a webinar. A guided journey.
Scotland by Ear is not a travel webinar or a history lecture. It's a guided cultural experience, shaped like a journey rather than a course. Each week we travel to a different part of Scotland, listening for how music reflects landscape, how history shapes daily life, and how place influences rhythm, language, and community — all held in a relaxed, welcoming online space, with room for reflection and conversation.
Depth over speed
- Feel drawn to Scotland
