It did seem at times as if Stewart was presiding over some school of misrule as she presented her well-researched programme of music and songs relating to Highland wedding rituals. But the novelty of having wifely observations about her then husband-to-be's hopes for her dowry's cattle content and a minor verbal skirmish between Lochaber and Eriskay forces during a commissioned work's performance only added to the already high entertainment value.
