A baroque fiddle believed to have been played by Robert Burns will be performed live on stage in the United States for the first time.

The Gregg fiddle, which was reportedly played by Scotland’s Bard, Robert Burns, will be returned to use in a partnership between Hoolie in the Hydro and the National Trust for Scotland, at performances in the OVO Hydro in Glasgow and Carnegie Hall in New York.
