Fionnar ( Gaelic for cool) are a group of talented young Gaelic singers and musicians from all over Scotland and were formed in 2003 by the Màiri Mhòr Gaelic Song Fellowship for Highland Council. Under the guidance of Fiona Mackenzie, the Màiri Mhòr Fellow, the group have performed all over Scotland, Ireland and Wales, winning the Celtic Group contests at both the Pan Celtic and the Llangollen International Eisteddfod.
This collection of songs is the end result of a research project undertaken by the group in 2007, which saw the girls collect and research songs from their own home areas.
