Elizabeth Morewood has been collecting Shetland songs for years because she was concerned that, as the years passed, they were becoming unknown. She has put this collection together to preserve them in print, and in song on the CD.

Featuring songs from several of the Shetland Islands (including Yell, Unst, Bressay and Fetlar) sung by Elizabeth unaccompanied, plus several fiddle tunes.

Extensive accompanying booklet includes song lyrics and Shetland dialect glossary.
