Passage ushered in a new era for the group. Canadian entalist Bill Bourne introduced electric guitar into the fold and focused on contemporary covers like Stan Rogers ' "Harris and the Mare" and "Marie Christine" by Gordon Lightfoot. His contributions, while excellent, do little to overshadow frontman Roy Gullane 's powerful voice, whose emigration lament "Jamie Raeburn's Farewell" provides one of the record's finest moments.

They are notable for being one of the first popular bands to incorporate the sound of the Great Highland Bagpipe (the Highland bagpipes are primarily a solo instrument) in an ensemble setting, and in doing so helped to change the sound of Scottish traditional music. The band was formed in 1968 and released their first album in 1976.

In the late 18th and early 19th century Scotland was in a turmoil of change.
