Description
Fiddler Aly Bain, Shetland-born and Edinburgh-raised for six decades, is set to receive the city’s highest honor—the Edinburgh Award—celebrating his legendary impact on Scottish music. At 80, he’s been a global ambassador of traditional tunes, from pubs to world stages, co-founding iconic groups like The Humblebums and Boys of the Lough, and pioneering the Transatlantic Sessions. His handprints will be immortalized in stone outside City Chambers, joining other cultural giants, while he’ll also receive an engraved Loving Cup from the Lord Provost—a tribute to a man who’s shaped Scotland’s musical soul for over 60 years.
