Soundtrack Saturday – Outlander
January 16, 2010
Current Read: Outlander by Diana Gabaldon
One Sentence Summary: While vacationing in Scotland with her husband in 1945, Claire goes for a walk and ends up in Scotland 1743.
Soundtrack Song: Scottish Folk Music by The Hired Hands
Why I chose this song: I wanted to find something traditional for this post, but most music I found was too traditional for Claire, but not traditional enough for Jamie. This seems to be the perfect mix. It sounds like a tune Claire could have listened to with Frank in 1945 Inverness, or with Jamie in 1743 Castle Leoch.

wow, I love that song/video! Thank you so much for sharing :D I can’t read Outlander yet, but it’s on The List.
That was a really lovely song — I’ll have to check out some more of the Hired Hands’ material.
Nymeth – Isn’t it so pretty? Yeah, Outlander was on my ever growing List for a while. I’m glad I finally got to it, but the rest of the series might have to wait for a while :)
Jenn – I can’t stop listening to the clip, and I’m so disappointed every time it cuts out at the end. I may have to look into buying their album.
