Those that have heard SAOR PATROL live never forget the visual image, and the vibrant energy they send out to their audience during a performance. Their vibrant pipe tunes and drum rhythms please, and excite, many a crowd from all walks of life. Still holding onto their unique sound and style they continue to combine old roots and new blood. Once again Saor Patrol has brought to you their very own Celtabilly music. Aftermath (Blar-Nan-Leine 1544) Battle of the Field of Shirts The Battle of Kinloch-Lochy, also known as the Battle of the Shirts or Blar na Léine, was a 1544 battle in Scotland, fought between branches of the Clan Donald, with the involvement of their allies the Clan Cameron against the Clan Fraser, led by Fraser of Lovat, who was aided by members of Clan Grant. The site was on Loch Lochy. [wiki]. See also Clan Cameron's description. The Clanranald Trust Duncarrow All of the members of Saor Patrol are deeply involved in Charity Work, starting the Clanranald Trust. They say: Our ultimate aim is to replicate a medieval Motte and Bailey Fort as an interactive educational visitor attraction (See more at DunCarron). The idea behind the project is to provide an arena in which groups, individuals and school parties can experience the atmosphere of an authentic medieval working community. Once completed the Trust intend to use this development as a centre from which to base their work with the local community and educational institutions, whilst also offering a great forum for companies to entertain clients and employees alike. The Film and TV industries will also find the project useful as a “set”. See their Myspace page and hear more music or visit their homepage, Saor Patrol.
