>From what I've heard either of these fiddle schools could offer what you're after. The Taransay school has two particularly gifted teachers in Pete Cooper and Patsy Reid, while Alasdair Fraser's long association with Sabhal Mor Ostaig is reckoned by some to have been an important factor in the Scots fiddle renaissance.
Taransay is uninhabited for most of the year, and probably offers fewer of the comforts you'll find on Skye. As for other opportunities, Stirling University runs fiddle courses throughout the summer, although I gather their popularity has declined in the face of the other alternatives now available. If you are under 25, Aberdeen International Youth Festival has a traditional music school which will run from July 26 until August 3. The fiddle teachers at that will be Mairi Campbell and Sarah Jane Fifield.
