| About Us: Traditional Scottish Violinist Ross is arguably one of the few respected Traditional Fiddle players in Scotland. His experience and ability is founded in his innate talent for fiddle playing. Ross started playing the fiddle when he was age five, at which time he was introduced to classical style and playing. His talent for Scottish Traditional music was recognised early in his formative years and influenced profoundly by one of the great exponents of fiddle playing Douglas Lawrence a former pupil of the great Hector McAndrew. Ross went on to benefit from lessons from Dougie, which continues to this date. During this period Ross competed and was successful in many fiddle competitions. Playing Bride down the Aisle Ross, alongside Mark Carmichael was the co founder of the folk band Camhanach, a professional folk band, who for a five year period performed at many venues throughout Scotland and Ireland ranging from Celtic connections to radio performances. The band has just recently reformed after a 10 year break with Ross and Mark at the helm and both are ready to hit the road once more. Background music to signing of register and line up This 10 year break allowed Ross to pursue his competition work and in 2003 he was invited to compete in the prestigious Glenfiddich fiddle championship at Blair castle, where he joined eight of the top fiddlers. On this occasion Ross was pleased to win the Charles Gore prize for the 'Best Newcomer'. More recently in 2004 Ross again received an invitation to the Glenfiddich event and went on to win first place and is honoured to be the Glenfiddich fiddle champion for 2004.
