This US national Scottish fiddle champion, known for her unique rendering of Highland bagpipe tunes on the fiddle, presents a rare collection of ancient melodies from the North Highlands and Western Isles of Scotland, performed in elegant classical style on fiddle with piano and guitar. The artist uncovered this rare manuscript during her stay as resident musicologist at Scotland's Armdale Castle on the Isle of Skye. In addition to haunting airs and lively reels, this 1994 album contains an 8-minute lament in the improvisational bagpipe 'pibroch' style.
