Aligning content with branding, helping to promote the ethos of their product. Lilian will also entertain groups travelling in Scotland who wish to experience some home grown traditional entertainment.

Born in the heart of Buchan farmlands, Lilian is a Tradition Bearer: storyteller, singer-songwriter and poet. This follows a way of life of years past when, particularly at busy times of the year like harvest, neighbouring farmers would come to help take in the crop and a ceilidh would ensue in the evening, with stories and songs around the fire. On these occasions, Lilian’s mother always asked her to sing when there were visitors. Love of the tradition has run in Lilian’s blood all her life and she is very grateful for her heritage.
