Culturally, tourism has brought benefits to the local area and has helped ensure that local culture and traditions can flourish. You only have to visit the large hotels on a Saturday night to see the resurgence of the traditional ceilidh. Both residents and tourists alike are having a ball as they swirl and twirl to the sound of an accordion band. These ceilidhs are incredibly popular and one of the attractions most requested here at the TIC - it's well known that us Scots love to party! Yet only a few years ago there were very few, if any ceilidhs in the area. The resurgence of this great Scottish tradition can be attributed to the interest shown by visitors to the area. Thank goodness - wouldn't it be such a shame to let a tradition enjoyed by your granny and probably your granny's granny just die away? |
Ceilidhs
can be enjoyed by young and old from all over the world.
