In 2004 Elgin Rotary and MacAllan's Distillery celebrated 21 years of 'The Annual Festival of Bothy Ballads', known to most as 'The Champion of Champions' contest. In effect of course it is quite simply, the annual bothy world championship! A commemorative CD was issued capturing performances from most of those songsters who have starred in the event throughout the years. So, here it is - over an hour of couthy songs from the best in the business. Jist grand !
