In recent years, they have become a very accomplished Scottish and Irish Folk Duo after a number of years travelling with other bands. The name 'Whiterose' is taken from the White Rose of Alba, or the Jacobite Rose, which is the Rosa Alba Maximus and is a double white rose. In 2009, Whiterose were invited to perform at the Homecoming Clan Gathering 2009, at Edinburgh, where they played to rapturous applause before 30,000 visitors. Their first CD, 'Caledonia, My Home' was a sell out and the second, 'The Auld Scots Tongue' looks like doing the same. | | |  | North Sea Gas - Friday 27 April 2012 Thirty plus years and stronger than ever!!

The classic Scottish songs are served up with outstanding accordion playing all tied together in a neat package with some hilarious banter. David and Dennis don´t just stick to one style. Mainly they play "In Concert" or for Ceilidh Dancing In concert, they have played to the great and the good of the land, at large functions and small intimate gatherings. The songs are well chosen to reflect the audience and laughter is always an important ingredient. And even if you are indifferent to the accordion, you will be enthused by David´s extraordinary ability on the instrument.
