Steve has an affinity for Scotland, perhaps because he traces his roots there. Perhaps it is because he loves the music. Perhaps it's because they love him.

The articles and pictures of Steve in Scotland are related to his participation in the Edinburgh Festival and his annual visits with comedian and fellow banjoist Billy Connolly at his castle in Lonach, Scotland. Billy is the Laird of Candacraig, and is the annual host of the Lonach gathering of the clans.

The articles included here are related to these subjects and include information on Steve's cohorts in his Scottish visits.

Because the information on Steve's Scottish visits is largely published only in Britain, I am departing from my usual practice and including some small pictures that are probably otherwise not easily accessed.
