Rona was born and raised in South Uist amidst a wealth of Gaelic music and culture. She learned piping at an early age from her father whilst at the same time absorbing traditional Gaelic songs from her mother( Bean Eardsaidh Raghnaill) who has been recognised as a fountain of knowledge and a gifted exponent of Gaelic music in the oral tradition. Rona is a fine performer and teacher of song and piping and also performs canntaireachd, the syllabic technique of teaching piping orally which enables the learner to acquire the fingering on the chanter as well as the tune. We welcome Rona back to her homeland again to celebrate our common heritage.
