O Cheapaich nan Craobh

This is our most ambitious project to date. Alasdair Ailein Mhór (Alexander MacDonald), known locally as Bàrd na Ceapaich (The Keppoch Bard), was born in Glenuig, Moidart, Scotland in 1820. He moved with his family in 1830 to the Keppoch area of Antigonish County, Nova Scotia. There he produced poetry in quality second only to his neighbour the celebrated Bard MacLean. Twenty-five of the bard's songs have been collected through painstaking research and are now in print together for the first time along with translations, genealogical information, correspondence and photos of the bard and the people he sang about. Softcover. 230pp.

An t-Òranaiche - The Gaelic Songster

First published in 1879, this classic collection of nearly 300 of the most popular songs from the 19th century is one of the most sought after Gaelic books ever published.

This edition has been totally retyped in larger print and the lay out is much less cluttered than in the original. It is over 600 pages in a sharp 9" X 6" blue hardcover with gold trim and lettering. A CD is included with a selection of the songs sung by traditional Gaelic singers from Cape Breton.

Gaels in the UK can now get An t-Òranaiche through the Gaelic Books Council in Glasgow.
