Feis Rois Inbich http://feisean.org/rois

hold an Adult Teaching Festival, held at Ullapool over the first May Bank Holiday. They can lend you a harp if you don't want to clutter your car.

If you're not keen on driving, there are only two buses a day from Inverness timed to coincide with the ferry from Stornaway - my informant tells me the first bus goes at @9am and the last one at 2.30 pm. The night sleeper from London misses the first bus and the plane from Luton misses the second! There is a redeye flight to Glasgow from Luton, which gives just enough time to get a bus from Buchanan Street to Inverness and through to Ullapool, but coming back it means either a night in Inverness or Glasgow unless you miss the Monday classes.
