The Boy and the Bunnet is a brilliant way to introduce children (and adults) to the Scots language and Scots traditional instruments.<\/p>\n
In the story each of the characters is represented by a different musical instrument. it also introduces different styles of Scots traditional music, for example, a jig, a march and a reel. The Boy and the Bunnet is performed in a live show, with a narrator guiding the audience through the story. A book and CD have been published, and educational material is available for teachers to introduce the story in schools.<\/p>\n
The story has been written by James Robertson, and the music composed by James Ross. It is hoped that The Boy and the Bunnet will become a familiar story to children for many years to come, be it enjoyed in the theatre, the classroom or at home.<\/p>","excerpt":"

The Burgh Hall is set to become a thriving centre for arts-led community activities. On the basis of recent research commissioned by SBPT, this view is supported by the town. It is also clear that the development will not only add to the cultural life of Dunoon, it will prompt new social and commercial activities in the process.<\/p>\n
The findings show, quite decisively, that a purely commercial re-use of the Hall is not desired by townspeople. The majority of respondents to a recent survey from SBPT has indicated preferences for \u2018theatre performances and rehearsal space\u2019, \u2018facilities for local clubs and groups to meet\u2019 and \u2018an arts performance space\u2019. A part-commercial use of the Hall to support such activities is also supported, such as a caf\u00e9 and bookshop.<\/p>","slug":"dunoon-burgh-hall","image":{"url":"https:\/\/thetouringnetwork.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/dunoonburghhall.jpg","id":1076,"extension":"jpg","width":550,"height":367,"sizes":{"thumbnail":{"width":150,"height":150,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","url":"https:\/\/thetouringnetwork.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/dunoonburghhall-150x150.jpg"},"medium":{"width":300,"height":200,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","url":"https:\/\/thetouringnetwork.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/dunoonburghhall-300x200.jpg"},"et-pb-post-main-image":{"width":400,"height":250,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","url":"https:\/\/thetouringnetwork.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/dunoonburghhall-400x250.jpg"},"et-pb-portfolio-image":{"width":400,"height":284,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","url":"https:\/\/thetouringnetwork.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/dunoonburghhall-400x284.jpg"}}},"address":"195 Argyll Street","city":"Dunoon","country":"United Kingdom","province":"Argyll","zip":"PA23 7DE","phone":"01369 703302","website":"http:\/\/www.dunoonburghhall.org.uk\/","stateprovince":"Argyll","geo_lat":55.9506459,"geo_lng":-4.9275986,"json_ld":{"@type":"Place","name":"Dunoon Burgh Hall","description":"<p>The Burgh Hall is set to become a thriving centre for arts-led community activities.
