The tale of the Cailleach Bheur, the Celtic goddess of nature, storms and winter, is well known to many in the Gàidhealtachd. Said to have carved the mountains and glens with ice, and borne the islands like children on her back, the Cailleach disappeared long ago leaving us only with her song – a sad, cautionary tale. This Gaelic arts project brings music, film and verse together to reimagine Cailleach’s story for the modern era.
