Biography

Based in Fife, all of our professionally trained string players studied at the top Conservatoires around the UK. They reside in Scotland and perform regularly throughout Europe with the top orchestras; including BBC Scottish Symphony orchestra, RSNO, Scottish Opera, Scottish Chamber Orchestra.
With over twenty years of experience in the business, we have kept our ideas and our music fresh.
Having played at over 400 different venues across the UK, we have gained a wealth of experience and knowledge; playing at small gatherings right through to the grandest affair, no two events are ever th ... e same.
Scotia has a huge repertoire from you to choose from and add new songs to this list on a weekly basis. If there is something that is not on our list, we are more than happy to source it for you. Be it Pachelbel or Pink, Mozart or Madonna; you name it, we play it.

Scotia Strings - String Quartet - St Andrews, Scotland Event Location: Glasgow Event Type: Wedding 26th March 2022

Stunning music and such a friendly group! Scotia String Trio played before and during our wedding ceremony. We decided to use them after seeing them at a friends wedding as they play stunning music and such fun covers! They have a HUGE list of songs to choose from- classics to fun covers and they even learned a new one for our wedding! Great job and thank you so much Scotia!

Scotia Strings - String Quartet - St Andrews, Scotland Event Location: Dunfermline Event Type: Party 26th November 2021

Just a note to say 'thank you' for Scotia String's performance which my wife and I thoroughly enjoyed and which many of our guests commented favourably on. As we discussed when booking, this is the second time you have provided music for us, the previous time around four years ago at The Gleneagles Hotel for our 40th Wedding Anniversary. With our very best wishes to you and your fellow musicians.

We absolutely loved having Scotia Strings at our wedding! We were provided with a comprehensive list of songs to choose from and the group performed beautifully and professionally on the day. The group were commented on by many guests. A welcome addition to our day and would recommend!
