Morrison is acclaimed as one of the world’s greatest pipers. His recent album, Outlands, was met with critical acclaim for its remarkable mix of Scottish and American pipe and string music.

He will be in Longniddry with multi-instrumentalist and singer Matheu Watson, offering a fabulous evening of music old and new.

The pair will also be joined by Preston Lodge High School’s Pipes and Drums.

Longniddry’s minister, the Rev Dr Robin Hill, said: “Wonderful tunes, excellent atmosphere and festive refreshments will combine to make this a great night out.”

The concert is being staged on December 16 at 7.30pm.
