SCOTLAND’S West Highland Line – dubbed ‘…the most beautiful rail journey on Earth…’ – will be alive to the sound of a Nordic-inspired programme of music performed by two musicians from Scotland’s national orchestra next week.
The ScotRail Alliance said that violinist Katherine Wren and violist David Martin, from the Royal Scottish National Orchestra (RSNO), had performed two special concerts along the West Highland Line, on Tuesday and Wednesday, June 6 and 7.
Mallaig, the terminus of the route which was voted ‘most beautiful rail journey on Earth’ three times by readers of Wanderlust magazine, played host to the first performance, which features a collection of music developed by Katherine during her year-long sabbatical where she visited Scotland’s northern isles, The Faroes, Greenland and Iceland.
