A full weekend of all things Doric will take place in Braemar on the weekend of October 4 to 6 as part of the Across the Grain festival.

The annual event has been inspired by the region’s Doric history and showcases how heritage, music and stories still contribute to the region’s shared cultural experience.

Delivered by a partnership involving St Margaret’s, The Elphinstone Institute, Braemar Castle and Across the Grain, the weekend will feature two evening concerts, an exhibition including a short film, a drop-in discussion session and a ballad workshop.

St Margaret’s will host both the evening concerts; on October 4 the historic church will welcome traditional fiddle player Paul Anderson who will play with Peter Hedlund.

Mr Hedlund who is also known as “Puma” is Sweden’s leading traditional players of the Nyckelharpa, which is a keyed fiddle and Sweden’s national instrument.

People are also being invited to join poet Jo Gilbert for linguistic fun and exploration during two drop-in discussion opportunities between 12noon and 2pm on both Saturday and Sunday.
