Julie Fowlis FRSE (born 20 June 1979) is a Scottish folk singer and multi‑instrumentalist best known for performing primarily in Scottish Gaelic. Fowlis was born and raised on North Uist in the Outer Hebrides, growing up in a Gaelic‑speaking community. Her mother came from a long line of islanders whose roots trace back to the small island of Heisgeir, while her father was originally from Pitlochry on the Scottish mainland. For many years her parents ran a hotel on North Uist before the family relocated to Ross‑shire when Julie was fifteen, following her father’s new job. They settled in Strathpeffer, where she completed her secondary schooling at Dingwall Academy. Fowlis later moved to Glasgow to study at the University of Strathclyde, focusing on the oboe and English horn, and graduated in 2000 with a BA in Applied Music. Wanting to deepen both her Gaelic fluency and her understanding of traditional music, she continued her studies at Sabhal Mòr Ostaig on the Isle of Skye. After completing her time there, she returned to Ross‑shire and worked from 2001 to 2004 as the music development officer for Fèis Rois, a Gaelic arts and culture organisation based in Dingwall.
