'A Stopover is a celebration of a real place, with real people. It’s a bridge between the culture of a music festival and actual culture as lived by real-life people. We bring the music, the stage, the flags and the fans; everything else belongs to the town. Their energy and enthusiasm, their civic pride…their favorite local beer. We’ve found it to be a beautiful thing – maybe the most beautiful thing that we do.' - Mumford & Sons

 

Aviemore was chosen to host the 2015 Stopover. As a local girl, who's family had previously owned small business in and around Aviemore, I was asked to be involved with the promotion of the event. The festival was held at Rothiemurchus Estate. Part of the promotion for the event was putting together the window display in the old Aviemore Gallery. I used my great grandfather's delivery bike to demonstrate the heritage of the village and drew chalkboards that linked the area to the event.
