This compilation was first released as a showcase for the then fledgling Greentrax label and has gone on to be a Greentrax best-seller.

It is also a sample of the very best of Scottish music and song as well as a showcase of the recordings available from Greentrax Recordings at that time. The tracks were carefully chosen and represent some of the very best singers/ musicians and music and songs from Scotland.

It should continue to be a popular purchase on the Celtic Collections Budget Series. Track 19 ‘The Sleeping Tune’ is added in memory of the great, late Gordon Duncan. 2021 is the 35th Anniversary of Greentrax Recordings and the album celebrates that event.

The album includes such top Scottish artists as Jean Redpath MBE (Dumbarton’s Drums); The McCalmans ‘The Rolling HIlls of The Borders); Robin Laing (Burke and Hare); Heather Heywood (My Bonnie Moorhen); Adam Mc-Naughtan (The Glasgow That I used TO Know); Rod Paterson (The Bleacher Lass o’ Kelvinhauigh); Archiie Fisher (Yonder Banks/Shipyard Apprentice); Eric Bogle (If Wishes Were Fishes); Aly Bain MBE & Phil Cunningham MBE (Set of tunes) and more.

A Bonus track by Ceolbeg (The Sleeping Tune) has also been added in memory of the late, great Gordon Duncan. The album has been re-mastered by Peter Haigh of Pier House Studios and as a Celtic Collection Budget price album it is great value and a great addition to the Series.
