Once in awhile we come upon a CD that screams special and this is truly one. A collection of songs on the specific subject of the 'gentle giants' - Clydesdale horses - sadly no longer part of the rural scene in Scotland. The project is produced by Robin Laing and consists of previously recorded songs plus others specially recorded and engineered by Davie Scott for the project. We have chosen one of the new songs for you to get a feel for the album.

The booklet that comes with the CD is a complete history of the Clydesdale Horse and contains many black and white pictures of these beautiful creatures.

This is a remarkable celebration of the Clydesdale and one we would highly recommend.
