Aos Dàna: ‘The Music of Scotland’ – John Purser

Aos Dàna: 'The Music of Scotland' - John Purser

A major moment in Scotland's music history was the publication, in 1992, of Scotland's Music by John Purser, a gaelic speaker who lives at Drinan, on Skye. The uniqueness of the book is known by collectors, who now pay around £300 for a copy at auction. The book's importance was recognised by a special supplement in Scotland on Sunday, and its launch was a highlight of the 1992 Edinburgh International Festival. John Purser's talk will highlight some of the musical treasures of our nation that are revealed in his outstanding book.
