This is a collection of traditional Gaelic songs from the Hebrides of Scotland, with musical scores and English translations. They were composed and sung by the women of the Isles, not only at their diversions, but also during almost every kind of work where more than one person is concerned, as milking cows, watching the sheep, weaving of cloth, grinding of grain, haymaking, and cutting down corn. This collection of Songs of the Hebrides is a valuable collection of Gaelic folk art, sharing the voices, stories, and experiences of the working women and men of the outer isles of Scotland, people whose voices very often did not make it into the official register.
