Scottish Gaelic songs

Our Scottish Gaelic songs really are sheer poetry - literally. Until the mid-twentieth century, nearly all the poetry was essentially created to be sung. Music and words were bound together, each dependent on the other to create love songs, work songs, mouth music and more.  Below is a large selection of Scottish Gaelic songs on CD. Check out our Scottish Gaelic section which features Gaelic books and Scottish Gaelic songs books.
