Grace Stewart-Skinner: The KLOF Mag Interview

"...the original plan was to visit Avoch, make my recordings and compose one solo clarsach tune to complement my findings...somehow, I had written a full album for a four-piece band"

by Alex Gallacher 18 July, 2025

We catch up with Grace Stewart-Skinner, a clàrsach player from the Scottish highlands based in Glasgow, who recently released her debut album, Auchies Spikkin’ Auchie. The album not only seeks to preserve the fading Avochie dialect for future generations but also celebrates the spirit, humour, and resilience of the community that shaped it. Grace provides a deep insight into the album's creation and the cultural history of the Avoch community . . .
