Westerfjord by Colin Campbell and the Bracadale Collective
Loch Bracadale (or Westerfjord as it was known to the Vikings) is a special place shaped by many diverse influences including Vikings, Gaels and Scots. Westerfjord likewise melds diverse influences from indie guitars to French café, electronica to The Clash, Gaelic Song and the classical music of the Bagpipes. Blending this all with in-situ field recording, archival sound and scientific data, this album celebrates a little bit of Skye that is often overlooked.

I'm a scientist and musician making music at the interface between indie and Scottish traditional music. My album Westerfjord is a love letter to Loch Bracadale and melds diverse influences from indie guitars to the classical music of the bagpipes and blends them with in-situ field recording, archival sound and scientific data.
