It's easy to forget that not so long ago, Scotland's traditional music landscape was in a perilous state. The 1970s were a period of uncertainty, few children were choosing to play instruments, folk clubs were a small niche affair, and it simply wasn't 'cool' to play traditional music.

However, it was against this backdrop, that a group of Oban High School pupils decided to combine their musical talents and form a folk band! Fast-forward through the intervening 30 years and that young school band, Capercaille, have achieved a position on the global music stage that, at their time of forming, would have been unthinkable.
