The Wrigley sisters are an successful fiddle and guitar duo who play traditional Orkney music. They set up, 'The Reel' as a cafe, shop and meeting place for local musicians. We went to one of the 'sessions' - and I met Hazel Wrigley to learn some local guitar styles.

Photo: Linlithgow Canal.

The weekend before last we went along to Linlithgow fun day at the Union Canal Centre. The highlight was the cardboard boat race - where different teams attempted to negotiate their way around a course on the canal in their home made cardboard boats - without sinking or getting soggy boats.
