The Cutter & The Clan

"The Cutter and the Clan" is the fifth album by Scottish Celtic rock band Runrig. It was originally released in 1987 on the bands own label, Ridge Records. It was the band's breakthrough album, taking them from cottage industry to the international stage. It was taken on board by Chrysalis Records as part of a 1987 major recording contract. Highlights include the song "An Ubhal as Àirde", which was later to become the first and only Scottish Gaelic language song to reach the UK Top 20, reaching #18 in 1995, and was used in an advert for Carlsberg lager.
