Whilst watching the latest Outlander episode, I immediatly recognized the first song played in the background. It is called “An Fhideag Airgid” and is a known Jacobite song. The version I fell in love with some years ago sounds a bit different though than the one from Outlander.
Here is Capercaillie’s Karen Matheson singing the song on Youtube:

If anyone is interested, Capercaillie brought out a fabulous CD with Jacobite songs called “Glenfinnan (Songs of the ’45)” back in 1998:
