A Scottish musician has backed a crowdfunding campaign to rerelease a limited edition single that celebrates the village of Kilchoan in Lochaber. The track was originally recorded to mark the community’s response to local events and has since become a symbol of pride for residents. Supporters of the campaign hope the rerelease will raise funds for community projects and bring wider attention to Kilchoan’s culture and heritage. The musician said the song reflects the spirit of the area and its people, and that reviving it offers a chance to share that story with a broader audience.
