'S e Sgoil Eòlais na h-Alba aig Oilthigh Dhùn-Èidinn a tha air a bhith foillseachadh Tocher thairis air an dà fhichead bliadhna a chaidh seachad. Iris a tha seo a tha làn òrain, sheanchasan, cèol, rannan is eile air an sgrìobhadh bhon stòras a tha Sgoil Eòlais na h-Alba air a chlàradh air teip. Tha Jo NicDhòmhnaill a' taghadh cainnt bho thriùir à Scalpaigh a tha a' nochdadh ann a Tocher - Tormod MacLeòid, Coinneach MacLeòid is Calum MacSuain. Tha cainnt is seanchas aice cuideachd bho Churstaidh Sheadha is Peigi Mhoireasdan.
