The Corries - Bonnet, Belt And Sword Size_S The inspiration for the songs

The inspiration for the songs and the musical context is the experience of growing up in the Western Isles in the late 50s and 60s

The Living Tradition

A brilliantly innovative album which saunters with great casual style along the right side of that fine line dividing “exploratory genius” and “desperately trying to be different”

This was awarded a Silver in the 2020 Best Product Award at Scotland's Spring Trade Fair
