"Flower of Scotland" & "Scotland Again" sung by Moira Kerr 
Filmed while working up at the Awesome Applecross Radio Mast Site.
 Flower of Scotland
 Writer and composer
 Roy Williamson
 Flower of Scotland (Scottish Gaelic: Flùr na h-Alba, Scots: Flouer o Scotland)
 is a Scottish song, used frequently at special occasions and sporting events. 
 Although there is no official national anthem of Scotland, Flower of Scotland is 
 one of a number of songs which unofficially fulfil this role. 
 It was written by Roy Williamson of the folk group The Corries, 
 and presented in 1967, and refers to the victory of the Scots, led by 
 Robert the Bruce, over England's Edward II at the Battle of 
 Bannockburn in 1314.
 1. O Flower of Scotland,
 When will we see
 Your like again
 That fought and died for
 Your wee bit hill and glen.
 And stood against him,
 Proud Edward's army,
 And sent him homeward
 To think again.
 2. The hills are bare now,
 And autumn leaves
 Lie thick and still
 O'er land that is lost now,
 Which those so dearly held
 That stood against him,
 Proud Edward's army
 And sent him homeward
 To think again.
 3. Those days are past now
 And in the past
 They must remain
 But we can still rise now
 And be the nation again!
 That stood against him
 Proud Edward's army
 And sent him homeward
 To think again.
 4. O Flower of Scotland,
 When will we see
 Your like again
 That fought and died for
 Your wee bit hill and glen.
 And stood against him,
 Proud Edward's army,
 And sent him homeward
 To think again.

Celtic Woman - Caledonia
Singer: Lisa Kelly
I don't know if you can see
The changes that have come over me
In these last few days I've been afraid
That I might drift away
I've been telling old stories, singing songs
That make me think about where I've come from
That's the reason why I seem
So far away today
[Chorus:]
Let me tell you that I love you
That I think about you all the time
Caledonia, you're calling me, now I'm going home
But if I should become a stranger
Know that it would make me more than sad
Caledonia's been everything I've ever had
Now I have moved and I've kept on moving
Proved the points that I needed proving
Lost the friends that I needed losing
Found others on the way
I have kissed the fellas and left them crying
Stolen dreams, yes, there's no denying
I have traveled hard, sometimes with conscience flying
Somewhere with the wind
[Chorus]
Now I'm sitting here before the fire
The empty room, the forest choir
The flames have cooled, don't get any higher
They've withered, now they've gone
But I'm steady thinking, my way is clear
And I know what I will do tomorrow
When hands have shaken, the kisses float
Then I will disappear
[Chorus]
Caledonia's been everything I've ever had
Caledonia's been everything I've ever had
Caledonia's been everything I've ever had 
            
Celtic Woman - Caledonia (Live at Morris Performing Arts Center - 2013) 
 
I love this song by Dougie MacLean and had to learn it.
I first found the song printed in the University of Edinburgh "Folksoc Collection" 
book. My Daughter was a graduate student at Uni Edinburgh and I went to a 
Folksoc session with her and bought the song book. 
Caledonia is the Latin name used by the Romans for Scotland. 
This is a very famous song that is dear to the Scot's and I hope 
I did it justice. It is a great song about a great place.
The video is slide show of pictures from my trips to Scotland 
and my daughter's graduation at the end. 
The whistle I used in the recording is one that a bought in Scotland 
and the Harp is MIDI instrument being played by my nice Dell computer. 
I hope you like the song.(Jamie 2010. 02. 28)

Do you remember we went fly-fishing to the Great Glen?

Flower Of Scotland 
스코틀랜드의 국화는 엉겅퀴 꽃 (Thistle)입니다
별로 예쁘지도 않고 가시까지 달린 이 못생긴 꽃이 
다양한 예술작품과 장식품에 그려지고 국화로 지정되어 
많은 이들의 사랑을 받게 된 데에는 하나의 전설 때문입니다. 
과거 스코틀랜드가 외적의 침략을 받아서 패망직전에 다다른 
때가 있었는데 야습을 준비하던 적군이 모두 신발을 벗고 
마지막 남은 스코틀랜드의 성을 향해 이동하고 있을때 
한 병사가 엉겅퀴를 밟아 아픈 나머지 비명을 질렀고
그 덕분에 적의 공격을 알아챈 스코틀랜드인의 반격으로 
무사히 적들을 물리쳤다는 전설인데 
이렇게 나라를 구한 꽃으로 사랑받는 것입니다,


We'll Meet Again My Friends - Isla Grant 
We'll meet again my friends 
Somewhere down the line 
Who knows where or when 
Another place another time 
We'll share a few old songs 
And memories on my mind 
Yes I know we'll meet again my friend 
Somewhere down the line  
Another show is over 
Another day gone by 
With good friends all around me 
My how the time does fly 
It' hard to find the words I want to say 
But friends I'll try 
God bless you all and keep you 
Till we meet again good bye
My Homeland - Isla Grant
Wish I was on a mountain high
Watching the eagle as she flies
Wish I could sit and dream awhile
And spend some time in my homeland
So many places I can't recall
There's been so many I've seen them all
But through the years I've come to know
My heart belongs in my homeland
I've seen the bright lights the neon signs
Spent loving nights sipping ruby red wine
Made a thousand friends along the way
But now I long to be in my homeland
Wish I was on a mountain high
Watching the eagle as she flies
Wish I could sit and dream awhile
And spend some time in my homeland
