Welcome, dear reader, to my web site about Scottish harmonica music, often, but not exclusively, played on Tremolo harmonica.  Please click on the "Instruments" link for more information.

I explain in the "About" page where my interest in Scottish music comes from.   On the other pages I attempt to inform by example and link about Scottish music played on the Harmonica - also known as the Gob Iron, Mouthorgan, Moothie, Moothy and Tin Sandwich, amongst others.

I have holidayed in the Outer Hebrides (Western Isles) and the picture in the title block is one of my favourite views of the beautiful Hebridean Isle of Harris, taken by kind permission from the web site of  Isle of Harris Hotel, Self Catering and Bed & Breakfast Accommodation.   In the foreground is Luskentyre beach, one of the lovely secluded sandy beaches of South Harris, to the left, the island of Taransay (where the TV series Castaway was filmed) and beyond, the mountains of North Harris.

Although this website has been on the web for a while now in my view it is still a developing one.  I have recently updated the Gallery page with thumbnail photos which, when clicked, give a larger size view of the image.  Future planned projects include a page giving guide to purchasing traditional harmonicas.

Therefore, I would still very much like to hear what this music means to you and any comments or suggestions for improvement are most welcome.   Just click on the link at the bottom of the page to email me.
