The Wighton Heritage
Centre |
The Wighton Heritage Centre for the Study and
Appreciation of Scottish Music was opened by Dr. Sheena Wellington on
24th November, 2003.
The Centre houses the world-famous Wighton
Collection of early printed music and performs a vital role in furthering
the study and development of music in Scotland. The Wighton
Database is accessible from computer terminals, and the majority of
the works may be consulted on microfilm or in digital format. Where a
need to view original manuscripts or print works can be demonstrated,
these will be made available, subject to security provisions governing
their use.
The Centre caters for a wide range of interests,
from music enthusiasts listening to recordings, through children practising
their skills, to amateur and professional recitals. Other music activities
not directly related to the spirit of the Wighton Collection may be accommodated
from time to time, subject to the space available and acceptable sound
levels. The Centre can also be hired for events such as seminars, provided
that these do not conflict with its primary purpose. It is intended that
it will be licensed under the appropriate regulations for the performance
of marriage ceremonies.
