Ardival Harps

Ardival Harps is a small business situated near the Victorian village of Strathpeffer. The firm specialise in Historical Scottish Harps and modern Clarsachs made from local timber, cut and kiln dried by a local hardwood sawmill. Proper seasoning ensures that the harps may be used in modern centrally-heated conditions. The woods used are beech, birch, lime and sycamore.

Ardival Harps also run holiday courses for beginners and players. Structured four-day courses offer an opportunity to combine a holiday in the Highlands with a chance to hear and learn different types of harps.

This photograph does not relate to Highland Games but was taken by keen photographer T Wellwood Maxwell, Strathpeffer, and depicts a Mr Ivemy who dressed up for this picture; apparently he neither wore the kilt nor played the pipes!

This photograph was titled "Bodachs (Gaelic: old men) at Strathpeffer Highland Gathering 1925". The gentleman third from left was Sir Hector Munro of Foulis, Bt., Lord Lieutenant of the County and Convener of Ross and Cromarty County Council who probably would not have welcomed the title bodach!
