About Ellen Originally from Temple, Midlothian, Ellen was taught to play the harp by the renowned musician and teacher Alison Kinnaird MBE. A multi-instrumentalist, she plays the fiddle and flute and is also available to perform as part of a harp/flute or harp/fiddle duo. Now based in Glasgow, her playing has taken her throughout Scotland to such venues as Edinburgh Castle, Stirling Castle, the Museum of Scotland, the Scottish Parliament and Holyrood Palace where she has performed for Royalty. She has played at many popular wedding venues, including Gleneagles Hotel, Dalhousie Castle, Dryburgh Abbey, Glenskirlie Castle and Òran Mór. She is currently the harper in residence on the Royal Scotsman train. Ellen has many years of experience performing at wedding ceremonies, civil ceremonies, receptions and private functions. Her musical repertoire is extensive and varied, based on Scottish and Irish traditional styles combined with classical and contemporary pieces. Her sympathetic style is ideal for weddings, whether during the ceremony or for the reception afterwards, and she is happy to suggest or advise on suitable music for the occasion.
