The Skye Boat Song (Original Lyrics Version)
A very famous song from the Scottish song tradition, depicting the journey of Bonnie Prince Charlie from Benbecula to the Isle of Skye, where he fled to escape the English army after being defeated at the battle of Culloden in 1746. A song of bitter loss and despair, which still manages to find a ray of hope in the fact that Charlie escaped and will “rise again”.
This is a version with the original Lyrics performed by Ella Roberts for the Highland Saga Show.

The singer Ella Roberts is a native of Australia with Celtic roots. A few years ago she traced her Scottish and Irish ancestors back to the Highlands and discovered her passion for Celtic music and song.

The Highlands have to be the most beautiful places on earth!

What a beautiful song. I get goosebumps every time I hear this song. Every Scottish student should learn the story of Flora MacDonald. A true Scottish heroine.

I have no ethnic ties to Celtic lands, and have never been; yet I hear music like this and it stirs something within. Thank you for the beautiful post.

Hiraeth (pronounced [hiraɪ̯θ]) is a Welsh concept of longing for home. 'Hiraeth' is a word which cannot be completely translated, meaning more than solely "missing something" or "missing home." It implies the meaning of missing a time, an era, or a person - including homesickness for what may not exist any longer.

Always when the pipes play it gives a special amazing touch in every music. Proud to be Celt.
