Gaelic Scotland is one of the world’s great treasure-houses of song. In this anthology Anne Lorne Gillies has gathered together music and lyrics from every corner of the Gaelic-speaking Highlands and Islands: an extraordinary tradition that stretches in an unbroken link from the bardic effusions of ancient times to the Celtic fusions of today’s vibrant young Gaelic musicians and poets.
PENning, the Writers in Exile Committee’s biannual online journal, presents work by Scottish PEN’s member-writers alongside writing from people living in Scotland who are from other parts of the world.
