about

This release comprises a double album of nearly 40 tracks including stories from Rona’s life and piping life, and pibroch songs/piping.

The original girl piper and trailblazer for women pipers, Rona is a world renowned piper, singer, story-teller and teacher.

This release includes the group of piping songs which she has taught over many years at Ceòlas & Fèis Rois. Whilst she learnt some of these from her mother, Rona gratefully acknowledges the assistance she had from Allan MacDonald & Margaret Stewart in compiling her teaching resource of piping songs.

The songs are sung by a group of singers whom Rona has taught at Fèis Rois and Ceòlas. Each song is followed by the related piping tune or pibroch (or part thereof).

For a note on Rona’s life, song words and translations, the piping tunes / pibrochs (Professor Joshua Dickson), and a note on the contributors, please visit:

This is a non-profit-making release. Any proceeds over and above production costs will go to Ceòlas, South Uist, ceolas.co.uk
