About
Tolbooth Trad was established in 2004 as part of Stirling’s Youth Music Initiative programme and the children and young people who have been part of these workshops have filled the Tolbooth with traditional music on a Monday evening since then, also getting opportunity to perform on the main stage, and play for ceilidhs at Stirling’s Albert Halls. We have seen many past members move on to careers in music, as professional musicians and / or teachers, and some now teach as part of Tolbooth Trad and Cowie Trad.
