I was performing last night at the wonderful space that is the Scottish National Portrait Gallery. I’ve been here so many times before, as a visitor to the gallery, but somehow it has a totally different atmosphere in the evening - truly magical. Above where I was playing is the famous wall fresco by William Brassey Hole, depicting figures from Scottish history. And way above that, the ceiling of the great hall is decorated with constellations of stars, embossed with gold leaf. Interestingly I was not the only harpist in the room. There was another painted on the wall.
