(1980 – present)

Capercaillie is a Scottish folk band founded in the 1980s by Donald Shaw and fronted by Karen Matheson. They recorded their first album, Cascade, in 1984. Their 1992 EP Coisich A Ruin was the first ever Scottish Gaelic language record to reach the UK Top 40 singles chart. They have also pioneered the integration of electronics and African rhythms into scottish folk music.
