Synopsis

Album Description
A Waulking Tour of Scotland takes listeners on a musical excursion, featuring many styles of Scottish music. Waulking the cloth, work usually done by women, would soften tweed and prepare it for wearing. Work songs were sung to pass the time. These songs capture the essence of Scottish life in their words and music, and are used as the milestones on this musical journey. Guests include Bonnie Rideout (fiddle), Walt Michael (hammered dulcimer), Maggie Carchrie (vocals), Lisa Moscatiello (vocals), and Karen Ashbrook (whistle).
