We are delighted to be providing live music from Dave Godden aka “The World’s Smallest Ceilidh Band,” on The Brae. He will be supported by local hero and Mr Ceilidh himself Donald Wilson. This dynamic duo are encouraging you to head to the Brae and get twirling and spinning. There’s an hour between each session which gives you a chance to browse the beautiful shops on the Brae!
