The North Highlands (digital album)

Norman Stewart - The North Highlands (Gaidhealtachd a' Tuath).

This is a lovely album of Gaelic and Highland English songs most of which are not commonly heard today. The lyrics and sheet music are available in the book 'The Folksongs from the Highlands' which contains these songs and many more.

These songs are sung by the noted folk song revival singer Norman Stewart with guitar, fiddle and harp accompaniment.
