The MacDonald sisters were a groundbreaking Gaelic girl group from the Isle of Lewis in Scotland. They came to prominence around 1963 and remained popular until the mid 70s. Their blending of 60's pop glamour with full on Gaelic folk music was a great success both in the UK and abroad, their Puirt-A-Beul (Mouth Music) stylings in particular being especially spellbinding. Their songs tended to be versions or re-interpretations of island songs. The four group members were sisters; Kathleen, Una, Peigi and Fiona.
