Cowal Games Week in Dunoon, August 2009
The Cowal Highland Gathering held in Dunoon in August is the largest and most spectacular Highland gathering in the world. During that week, the Burgh Hall hosted some fantastic events:
'LATEST' with Dunoon Music Project was a smashing success: seven bands took part in a competition held over two consecutive evenings. The Project included a music workshop, a masterclass and live performances. The Hall was filled with a supportive and enthusiastic audience.
The Saturday afternoon Craft Fayre and Entertainment saw 2,000 visitors and 15 stalls in the main Hall selling a variety of wares - from baked goods to brooches. The Clarsach was beautifully played during the afternoon and there was a demonstration by six weavers who sang traditional songs while they worked.
