“Folklore in the Traditions, History, and Culture of Scotland”
The halls of the Mountain House echo with the sound of bagpipes as the Mohonk grounds transform into the highlands of Scotland! Our Scottish Weekend features award-winning musicians, concerts, workshops, Scottish history, Scotch whisky tasting, the “Address to the Haggis,” Scottish country dance, bagpipe-playing, and kilt-making.
This year’s theme explores Scottish Folklore and its influence on the traditions and culture of Scotland. The whole team of performers this year has been inspired and excited in their exploration of this theme and by what they could each bring to you throughout the weekend.
On Friday evening we will be entertained by Timothy Cummings and McKinley James and the Saturday evening concert features Pipe Major Mike MacNintch and the Mohonk Pipe Ensemble; the Castle Point Scottish Country Dancers Ensemble; the musicians of Highland Grove; the Sky Top Highland Dancers, and Charlotte Gavitt.
