This Collection of Highland Gaelic Airs by Patrick McDonald was first published in 1784 and contains the tunes to many Gaelic songs of that period from all over Scotland.
An acclaimed anthology of music and lyrics from every corner of the Gaelic-speaking Highlands and Islands which stretches from the bardic tradition of ancient times to the Celtic fusions of today’s vibrant young musicians and poets.
In 1940, in Barra in the Outer Hebrides, an 18-year-old woman, Flòraidh, is persuaded to leave her island home when she learns that her stepmother intends to marry her off to the local shopkeeper. She follows her enigmatic friend Lavinia to the city and changes her identity to Laura, like a butterfly, leaving her chrysalis behind, as they join the war effort.
