Gregor Borland has had the good fortune of being the ONLY current performing fiddler to have been taught by both Hector MacAndrew of Cults (whose grandfather was a pupil of James Macintosh of Dunkeld, the last pupil of the famous Niel Gow) and Donald Riddell of Clunes, who was the leader of the Highland Strathspey and Reel Society, also a prolific teacher in the Inverness area. Both these fiddlers are now legendary in Scottish traditional fiddle music.

Gregor has also had much success in competitions, winning the Daily Record Junior Golden Fiddle Award in 1977 and then going on win as many as 8 Scottish Championships throughout Scotland over the next 5 years, including the "Henry Williamson Trophy" at the Scottish championship contest, held in Inverness.

He has recorded and toured with many great bands and artistes, including The Kathryn Tickell Band, Burach, Caledon (with Davy Steele) and also Jim Malcolm, to name a few.

Gregor currently is living in Spain with his family where he has started a Traditional Scottish Fiddle School, in the beautiful town of Biar in the mountains north of Alicante. He is also a fully qualified Piano Tuner. Gregor has also recently started making fiddles, he now faithfully plays one of them on all of his tours.
