United Celtic Bards - The Highland Clearances [Songs For The Children Of The Gaels]

The Highland Clearances ["Fuadach nan Gàidheal" the expulsion of the Gael] was the forced displacement during the 18th and 19th centuries of Highland Celts from their ancient traditional land tenancies. United Celtic Bards recorded this impressive charity double CD  in 2003 with contributions of music, song & poetry coming from all over the world. Profits from sales went to charities and events that support either the promotion of Gaelic Language or for the betterment of the Highlands & Islands of Scotland.
