      This is wonderful! Do you happen to know the song she's singing as she weaves?

    I wish I could download this music and this cultural tradition directly into my soul because I feel that's where it belongs. But unfortunately it wasnt given to me at birth or as I was growing up and my grandfathers (b. 1900) Gaelic died with him. I weep as Im watching this and I vow that I will learn Gaelic starting now and learn to sing at least some of the songs.. Neil Mackay grandson of Neil Mackay, March 2024

    My seanair//grandpa at 17:40 Donald MacSween // Dolly Challum Dhoimhnaill (1932-2007) I’ve probably spelt that wrong! I was named after him and as a wee boy he was always singing in and out of the house and even tried to teach me Psalm tunes but when I was wee I had no interest and I got older. I haven’t a bad word to say about him. A darling! ❤️

    An excellent documentary. My thxs to the OP.
    (We can ignore the audio agonies between 17:26 & 22:00. It only 4.5 mins of God-bothering pain 😒)

      This is not, by any stretch of the imagination, the most beautiful recording of Hebridean psalm singing that I've ever heard. But it can be truly wonderful - and I say that not as a religious person (which I most definitely am not), but as a fan of a capella harmony singing.

    oh the free church, so cognizent of God's judgement while knowing little of His grace and joy. An orgy of needless suffering.
