One of the MusicScotland top 99.

(2000) Scottish music.

Hardback, 296 pages.

Music and lyrics for all the published Runrig songs from 1975 to 2000, with notes to accompany each song, providing anecdote, information, and historical fact.

The book contains photography ranging from personal collections and archive to the work of some of the most significant photographers to have worked in the Highlands over the past decades.

This book is an insight into not only the genesis of the songs themselves, but also touches on the changing lifestyle and culture of the Scottish islands throughout the latter half of the twentieth century.

A changing culture within which Runrig themselves have played a part.

"Rory and Calum Macdonald have been writing songs for over 30 years and during that time have seen Runrig develop and mature from a dance band playing local halls on Skye to a band of international renown.

Runrig's success has been built on a combination of the quality of the songs along with the highest standards of musicianship and live performance. What more could Runrig fans ask? This songbook is the answer.

It provides tabulature, lyrics but perhaps more importantly written and visual insight into the history of the songs - what was the inspiration, what was the story behind the songs.

Listening to the songs while looking at the songbook brings the music alive - whether it is a love song, a political protest song, a song about the environment or the physical beauty of Scotland, in English or Gaelic." (Amazon)
