When you talk about Scottish music, many people may immediately think of the great Highland bagpipe; a lone piper playing a haunting lament or a full military regiment blasting out a rousing march. While this is an undeniably proud tradition and perhaps the country’s most representative image worldwide, Scotland also boasts an incredibly rich folk music tradition. Instruments such as the harp (clàrsach) and fiddle, as well as songs and ballads sung in English and Gaelic, are central to the Scottish identity.

This collection highlights a wide variety of Scottish music, from the mighty bagpipe to ballads and waulking songs. Details of the albums from which these songs are taken follow below. These and more can be found at our website, arcmusic.co.uk

Wenn man von schottischer Musik spricht, denken die meisten von uns sofort an die großen Highland Pipes, den Dudelsack - ein einsamer Piper spielt einen sehnsuchtsvollen Lament oder ein volles militärisches Regiment, das einen mitreißenden Marsch spielt. Das ist zweifelsohne eine stolze Tradition und wahrscheinlich das weltweit repräsentativste Bild, aber Schottland hat darüberhinaus eine unglaublich reiche Folk-Tradition. Instrumente, wie die Klàrsach (Harfe) und Fiedel, Songs und Balladen in Englisch und Gälisch gesungen, gehören ebenfalls zu den Fundamenten schottischer Identität.

Diese Sammlung präsentiert eine breite Palette schottischer Musik, vom großen Highland-Dudelsack bis hin zu Balladen und „Waulking Songs“. Angaben über die Alben, aus denen die Songs stammen, finden Sie unten. Diese und viel mehr, können Sie auf unserer Website finden: arcmusic.co.uk.
