It sounds like the setting for a quirky musical, a kind of Sound of Music, Scots-style, or a Brigadoon. Picture it: A small, quiet town nestled in a crevice of the picturesque Highlands. Nothing much happens. Suddenly, children are spontaneously singing opera in the streets, a bunch of teenagers are running around with a video camera to capture the activity, as is a BBC film crew. The townsfolk of Cromarty must be wondering what’s hit them.
In fact, the secluded town of Cromarty, in the Scottish Highlands, only has about 800 inhabitants, so in one way or another they are likely to be connected with the event tonight that has been causing all the hype.
