Bagpipes at the beach: Scots students hold free concert in Estepona

COSTA DEL SOL: STUDENTS from Edinburgh’s Stewart’s Melville College and The Mary Erskine School will be giving a free concert in Estepona on Wednesday February 18.

A total of 50 talented teenagers from the two Scottish schools will be offering a varied programme including traditional Scottish music, songs and dances (with bagpipes, Celtic harps and kilts included), film soundtracks, theatrical music and other well-known pieces.

The Erskine/Stewart’s Melville Band regularly performs during term time and comes to the Costa del Sol once every three years to play before new audiences.
