Welcome to the Northwest Scottish Fiddlers' Web Site!

The NWSF organization was re-formed in 2006 with a main purpose of playing and sharing traditional Scottish fiddle music. Guided by music director Calum MacKinnon, we are committed to having fun, forming new friendships at member's homes, eating some scrumptious food, and fiddling traditional music from Scotland.

In addition to fiddlers, the club welcomes members with other instruments suited for Scottish music sessions. We invite you to join us at our monthly jams.
