Customer Reviews

The Best Introduction to Scottish Music
This was the first CD I ever owned of Scottish music, and I have been buying Scottish folk music continually since then. This is one I still listen to on a regular basis. It is wonderful because it gives the listener a feeling for what is available from the many great Scottish groups out there today. From the hearty refrain of "Tae the Weaver's Gin Ye Go" to the beauty of "Lain Ghlinn' Cuaich", this CD will keep your Scottish heart singing. If you wish to introduce someone, or be introduced yourself, to Scottish music at its best, this is the CD. Andy M Stewart, The Tannahill Weavers, Capercaillie, Silly Wizard, and John Cunningham are just a few of the greats you'll hear in this collection! I highly recommend this CD collection.

Audio delights
When the BBC's Radio Scotland is upset by a flakey Internet connection, when you want to have delightful music in your vehicle's CD player, or when you just want to have your favourite selections to replay, this CD provides assurance of continued pleasureable listening.

Love it!
This is one of my favorite Celtophile CDs from Green Linnet. A wide assortment of songs and instruments, and is excellently made. Will keep your foot tapping all day! Highly reccomended.
