I’ve just heard that highly acclaimed Scottish violinist Nicola Benedetti has been appointed as the new Director of the Edinburgh International Festival, she will be the first Scot and the first woman to do so since the Festival’s inception in 1947.
Let’s hear her perform Tales Of The Macallan…a piece she was commissioned to compose for the famous Scotch Single Malt Whisky brand.

All filmed on Speyside in Scotland.
@Marionville Stunningly beautiful place!
Macallan's 100 Single Malt Whisky was one of the first that I ever had but I grew to like the Islay malts far more. Don't drink now.

I like a good single malt…Islay or Speyside, on occasion. My more usual tipple of choice is a G & T or a glass of wine.
@Marionville I found about a year ago that I had lost interest in alcohol.
Great sound! Congrats to her!
