After the Scotland County Highland Festival, we attended the Highland Echo's concert. It was full of culture and history. I loved every minute of it!


This song is about the witch trials in Scotland.


A Scottish Waulking Song

This is what the Gaelic woman would sign while waulking cloth. This practice involved a group of women rhythmically beating newly woven tweed against a table or similar surface to soften it.


I absolutely love this next one, due to the fact of Scottish music, also the traditional dancing around the sword.


The next song is the Skye Boat Song is a traditional Scottish song recalling the escape of the young pretender Charles Edward Stewart (Bonnie Prince Charlie) after his defeat at Culloden in 1746 and commemorating the many Scots who died and were exiled for the Jacobite cause.
