Home Sick - Song For All Us Scots Abroad.

[LochNessMonster]

Have had to spend a few days south and missing my Inverness, back at weekend.

Here's a wee song from back hame.

Wild Mountainside - Eddi Reader ( Brings a tear to a glass eye)

[Tilly2]

Danny Boy is usually sung set to 'The Londonderry Air'.

[doctordb]

Viv,

wiki says Bath not Bristol and the lyrics were set to the irish tune 'londonderry air' so perhaps a bit of both.

Great song. :)

Thanks doctor and Tilly, it's a song I've always adored.

[mushroom25]

I always liked Karen Matheson.....

shoota - Hamish MacShoota it is!! - Big Hammy to his friends (that's a compliment by the way)

[wolf63]

Shoota isn't as famous as Hamish McHamish - he is getting a statue erected in his honour and has a facebook page. And he is only 15 years old.

Thank you LochNess Monster for Wild mountainside. We moved from England to Scotland 8 yrs ago and never want to go back over the Scottish borders to England ever again. We have been back to see friends and relatives, but the moment we saw the welcome to England sign ou rhearts were heavy so that now if we need to see friends and relatives they come over to us, our beautiful Scotland.
My hearts in the highands, my heart is not here,
my hearts in the heather chasing the deer, following the wild roe, and chasing the deer my hearts in the highlands wherever I go.

Shoota. Every time I here the pipe bands play highland cathedral I fill up with tears.

@guilliebrougues - there are just SO many jokes that I can create from your post. But I will be good and won't say nasty things about bagpipes. :-)

[guilliebrougues]

Wolf I know what you mean, but it isn't just the bagpipes that play that tune. Thank you for being kind and not poo pooing bagpipes.

[wolf63]

@guilliebrougues - I'm fae the Fair City.

Thank you wolf 63. and thank you for The Red Hot Chilli Pipers. I do not know what is with some folk , why should they joke about the bagpipes. he only complaint that I have if you can call it one is that in an enclosed space it can be very noisy, in spite of that, it is enjoyable. Perhaps It takes a scot to meet an adopted scot like I am. I love Scotland, always have and hope that I always will. There is an untrue saying that Scots are mean, I have never met a mean scot yet. I consider them to be very generous and friendly. And as for the bagpipes, bagpipes forever.
