Celebrating Magnus Turpie and Ester Strachen

This week musicians Ester and Magnus are doing a tour of Skye for Down’s Syndrome Awareness Week.

The tour has been curated by Ester and her sister Iseabail who live on the island and host regular Kitchen Ceilidhs which they post on their Facebook page which you can view here. They will also be joined by Dominic Blaikie.

To celebrate World Down's Syndrome Day they wanted to do something extra special and will be performing at three venues around the island, demonstrating what is possible when you break through the age-old barriers of low expectations and challenge disability stereotypes.
