The Dubliners for good Irish music. If you like the Chieftains, you'll like The Dubliners. For very traditional Scottish music, look for a CD titled "Gaelic Scotland". It has several differen musicians. These are all songs sung in Gaelic from the Isle of Skye, Lewis, and other areas in Scotland and played with traditional instruments. The album comes with the Gaelic lyrics with English translation.

For traditional Scottish music, I recommend:
Ed Miller -- www.songsofscotland.com
Alex Sutherland -- www.alexsutherland.com
Ed and Alex both rely heavily on the Scottish folk tradition, such as Adam MacNaughton, Hamish Henderson, etc, and they are both nice fellows!
Cheers, 
Todd

Gaelwynd plays beautiful music, but the singing is what always stands out to me -- Rhiannon's voice is amazing. I've played with her and a couple of the other band members outside of the Gaelwynd setting, and they are all great musicians. Give 'Wee Weaver' a listen and you'll see what I mean about her voice :-)
