Christmas 2025 had a great prologue... The 16 years wait may have felt a bit too long, but man, the absolutely terrific atmosphere did remind us of old times... "Am Kattenturm" in Essen-Kettwig, from now on, can be regarded as official and historical "Claymore Territory". Too many highlights that evening, but the performance of "Strathnaver", originally sung by Ingold Schneider in the 1990's sparked a special feel among ourselves and the audience. Hopefully we don't have to wait another 16 years to repeat this event. Wishing all our fans a wonderful Christmas and a fantastic 2026!
More engagements will be anounced soon!

Fraser Solo!... A few weeks ago, one of our Scottish pipers, Fraser Maitland, had the chance to practice in an abandonded swimmingpool. Using the natural acoustics of the building to his advantage, he presented a very nice rendition of an old Claymore tune "Unquiet grave" followed by a very nice jig, "The old wife of the mill dust". Simply beautiful...

Scots on the castle! Many thanks to all of you that were present at Burg Vondern last weekend and joined us for two very enjoyable evenings. Also nice to see our friends from Rapalje again and thank them for their nice engagement and fast change of the stage afterwards! Hope to see many of you again in December when we have our almost traditional engagement at the "Kattenturm" in Essen-Kettwig!

Happy New Year!!! Wishing our fans all the best for 2025! This year is already a couple of weeks old, as we really look forward to this year from a musical point of view! In a few weeks we'll play the venue of the "Alter Bahnhof" in Kettwig, this being the first of, what we hope, many more engagements in 2025. So let's get "all hands on deck" again on that night.. We really look forward to it!
Another nice engagement that is coming up will be the "Scots on the Castle" Highland Games, which will be held at Burg Vondern, Oberhausen in September. But we expect to see you at many more occasions during this year! Just check our Facebook page regularly to stay up-to-date...
