      How can anyone be personally proud of being randomly born on a spot of land with imaginary borders named by someone then never met? Being proud of personal achievements I can understand, but being born somewhere isn´t an achievment although winning the sperm race probably is.

    The history of the song (roughly). Two Scottish soldiers in an English prison after the Battle of Culloden. Their captors decide to execute one and release the other in order to go home and tell of their defeat and punishment. So "You'll take the high road" is referring to the released man, while "I'll take the low road" refers to the man about to be executed. The "low road" is alluding to him being buried, while his spirit returns to the bonnie bonnie banks of Loch Lomond, where he and his true love used to roam.

    This song is accredited to a Highland clansman of Clan Macfarlane, Jacobite prisoner of the English (following the failed rebellion of 1745). He is imprisoned in a hulk on the banks of the Tyne in N.E. England. The navy used to beach their old wooden warships, when they were of no more use, on the banks of river estuaries, at high tide. Initially a use would be found for them (in this case as a prison ship). They remained beached there until they fell apart. In Celtic myth, the dead can move from place to place beneath the ground (the Low Road) while the living move (of course) above ground (the High Road). The song is a lament. In it, the prisoner knows that death is close and is singing his farewells to his true-love, promising to meet her one last time, on the Banks of Loch Lomond, in a place where they used to meet.
    Yeah, great performance, I was there all those years ago - one of the fifty thousand who attended. I don't suppose you've ever heard of them, partially because of an early BBC decision to limit their airplay due to their nationalist/Scottish lyrics. Keyboard player is currently a member of parliament for the SNP at Westminster. Didn't stop them though, they had a long and successful career and retired only recently.

      Nice post, however to say they wouldn't have heard of them due to BBC limiting them is all sorts of parnoid stupidity. They wouldn't have heard of them as they are American, so many British bands as a whole didn't get famous in the states, as for the BBC paranoia? Laughable, sort yourself out

    All I can add is that I love this beautiful land and the people.
    My wife and I married in Inveraray a few years after I proposed to her beside Glencoe Lochan, and we have always been welcomed wherever we have gone.

    it is always the last song played at weddings, the last dance for the bride and groom, last song of new year. In most pubs and night clubs in scotland its always the last song played before closing, and will get everyone on the dance floor and it brings people together as when its played you will form groups to dance to it with complete strangers. Its our 2nd national anthem next to flower of scotland.

    Even as an Englishman I was brought up on this beautiful song. And Loch Lomond itself is stunningly beautiful; it is the largest lake by surface area on the island of Great Britain, going from the Scottish Lowlands ( near Balloch) to the Highlands. It really has "bonnie banks" and "bonnie braes" (hillslopes).
    Runrig were (still are?) a deservedly successful group. They're called, I believe, after a traditional method of agriculture.

    At 6:31 they sing in Scottish Gaelic, Ho, ho mo leannan Ho mo leannan bhoidheach
    which translates as
    Oh, my wee bairn, (Oh my little child)
    Oh my wee bonny bairn (oh my little, beautiful child)
    Leannan could also be used as sweetheart.
    Here's roughly how it's pronouced
    hoe hoe moe lahn anne
    hoe hoe moe lahn anne woy och

    Had this played at my fathers funeral, last November as the entrance music. He was a professional entertainer all his life and knew this song in its original version. I’m sure he’d have loved Runrig’s version.

    Guys, I was there Midsummers day 1991. Scottish to the core but yet this brings me to tears every time I hear it. Scotland wants this as the new national anthem. Love your reaction, memorial day, respect for the fallen.

    I was at the gig in 91, some great Scottish bands were present, but brought up seeing Runrig play in Portree on the Isle of Skye, I saw them in small village halls,but this was a blast, it was beautiful day and Ihad to walk the last four miles to Balloch country park from the main Glasgow to Skye road as traffic was backed up

    The audience would know this song well not just because it's a traditional one that's been around for a long time, but also as Runrig played it at the end of most concerts.

    "Loch Lomond" tells the story of two Scottish soldiers who were so imprisoned after a battle against the English. One of them was to be executed, while the other was to be set free. According to Celtic legend if someone dies in a foreign land, his spirit will travel to his homeland by "the low road" - the route for the souls of the dead. The dead one would never see his true love again.

    Try saying it like this- lock low manned. A song written about captured Scottish soldiers around 1746; Jacobite rebellion. Played at weddings and of course when Scotland play football at Hampden Park.

    Knowing every word of this song is almost a definition of Scottishness. I think you caught some of that in your reaction. Nice one! Thank you.

  • @alisonscott1469
    @alisonscott1469 Před 2 lety +1

    the song came about because after the jacobite uprising in 1746 a jacobite about to be executed was asked if he wanted to say something before death an he say if you take the high road and i take the low road i’ll be in scotland afore yee where me and my true love (scotland) will never meet again on the bonny bonny banks of loch lomand. the atmosphere is amazing at any runrig song. i’ve seen them live several times and unfortunately they’ve split up now. thankyou for your enthusiasm, great review. take care from a proud Scottish girl. 😘🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿👏🏻
