Live Music Now at the Edinburgh Fringe

Enjoy free music inspired by the tales and travels of the Lewis Chessmen.

Monday 9 – Sunday 29 August

The National Museum of Scotland joins forces once again with Live Music Now Scotland to liven up your lunchtime.

Sit back and enjoy the music of some of Scotland's most talented musicians – for free!

Drawing on the Lewis Chessmen for inspiration, our programme stretches from Norway to the shores of Lewis. From fiddles and flutes to ballads and brass, why not join us everyday during the festival for an uplifting lunchtime?
