"I remember it as if it was yesterday
ย
My papa took me to see the ancestral home of our clan
ย
The desolate castle on Dismal Downs, abandoned since the 17th century
ย
Now inhabited by no-one but golden eagles in its turrets and
Ptarmigan & grouse in the heather o' the clan cemetery
ย
In this sight of former glory, of ochre grass and bracken
ย
Sadness and hope
ย
This is where I begin my story
ย
Rannoch moor, 1877, the eve of my 10th birthday..."
Tha 'n sgeul ag aiseig bu brร th
Toirt taic bho tiotain a tha gar deanamh mar a tha sinn
ย
Tha 'n sgeul ag aiseig bu brร th
Toirt taic bho tiotain a tha gar deanamh mar a tha sinn
ย
Tha 'n sgeul ag aiseig bu brร th
ย
Howls on the moors
Dreams of sailing all seas
Call of the hills
And a fiddle of farewell
