@mgbdub2007 They were fighting the Huron, that's why "The last of the Mohicans" were 2 dudes plus Hawkeye (Daniel Day-Lewis). When Uncas is killed by Magua is one of the saddest scenes ever, then Alice Munro hurls herself after him. It kills me every time.
@Djhutmose Well, the vast majority of Roman troops were stationed on the Limes Germanicus for most of its history. During the age of Marcus Aurelius, for example, over half of all the legions (16) were stationed on the Rhine and Danube rivers... not in Parthia, or in Egypt, or in Syria... in Germany. This is not necessarily because they wanted to conquer Germania Magna (Free Germany), but rather because the Germans wanted to conquer Rome.
Great video. I saw Dougie several times a long time ago and have enjoyed him ever since. He visited with us and seems like a really nice guy. Thanks for the music and for the memories.

@papamunki84 Hahaha...Funny....Saturated? We are saturated with English students who come to Scotland for a great education and they are welcome. Cold and dark...you could be describing the whole of the UK! Potatoes??? Haha just funny dude! Illiteracy? See above..Alchohol..you have a point. With regard to rape....wouldn't that say more about the people doing the raping Fucko? Get a life you racist little twat..not my fault your Scottish daddy dumped your mum to come home to Gods Country..lol!
In the spirit of the comments... or so should the people from various cultures around the world that went into making this fusion music, from prehistory giving us the guitar and the musical variation La folia on which this song is based (see Vivaldi's version and compare), to the italian who created the piano, the Greeks via whom we got the Lira, later evolved into a violin, and so on. Enough with the weak nationalism guys.
@johnniemcintyre73 Oh of course, land to be proud of being constantly saturated, cold and dark where nothing grows but potatos, a culture of alcoholics and illiteracy and a history of being raped and abused by the English. No, id hardly call that jealous fuckface :)
@BigCheese462 Actually the Romans didn't kick the Germanic ass... the Romans could never push past the Rhine River for the simple fact that every time they did, the Germanic tribes would beat them badly. Romans could never get a firm grip on Gaul either, they could only control it through alliances with the more powerful tribes. While they didn't ever conquer Scotland, they certainly never "kicked the Germanic ass."
This song stirs something very deep in my soul... It's like I can hear my/our great-great-great grandfathers + mothers... calling us home to some ancient land and way of knowing and living... a land before time, when we walked freely across the portals of time and space + lived harmoniously with ALL things. THANK YOU Dougie MacLean!!!

on :0:54 into the song, I keep imagining put the adams family acappella over it, think it would sound sick, 'they do what they want to do, the adams family', that one lol
@piratebri remember the scots werent in scotland then, it was called caledonia and was inhibited by the ancient picts ...possibly converted to the brythonic cultures by that date......the scotti culture came in from N Eire and was godeilic - i.e the gael ;) (picts/cymbric and gaelic ppls did merged of course
@3tangle3 I dont think you understand Scotland or how we became known as Scots at all.The Gaels where in Dumfries&Galloway over 300 years before they were ever recorded in Ulster.Dal Riata and Cruithe both have similar meanings when translated.The Gaels and Picts were of the same blood.The Picts were the dominant people of Scotland until Christianity came along they never vanished they are still here they are us or what we have become known as the Scots.Caledonia was a Roman name for Scotland.
Pre-emptive strike? Rome wasnt sacked by the Spanish.
Asking why the Roman Empire would want to conquer a place is kinda like asking why people climb Mount Everest. It's not that it makes objective sense - its just how they rolled.
@piratebri Rome never conquered Germany, Denmark, Ireland, Norway, Sweden, Finland, Russia, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Ukraine, or Belarus either. And of course, Scotland did have an ocean protecting it, unlike Germany, for example. Even though the Romans occupied England, they could not muster enough strength to march on Scotland in force. They could, however, march on Germany, and were still put down.
@piratebri Mostly because it was so far away rather than anything really having to do with the resistance. Heck...had to cross the channel just to get to the island which would be the british isles. Wasn't worth the fight...
@kigid Amen...my thoughts exactly...was just getting ready to switch, when they finally began to play. Took way too long. But is beautiful, once it got going.
If you liked this tune, search "the last mohican soundtrack" on youtube. its verry similar, but higher quality, and slightly changed (an improvement i think).
@Incyb3 you don't understand what i was saying... i was saying that this video has bad audio quality and if they searched the quoted phrase they could get a higher quality version,
If you see a guy running as fast as a horse down your street leaping over cars, dodging bullets, and making impossible one handed musket shots, I must have my ipod playing this one.
@WillyFeelerbusch I've actually stopped listening to this song in public places for that very reason. the human brain can't cope with this much concentrated awesomeness. true fact.
@sandwichman1600 Yep yesterday I rescued a bus load of tourists and stopped a North Korean attack on South Korea. This song is like snorting blow with your ears.

I've never heard this song playing amazingly like that before. literally it goes through my heart. Greetings Scotland and Ireland brotherhood from Turkey.
@grykrmz MacLean's most famous pieces include "The Gael", from his 1990 album The Search, which was adapted by Trevor Jones as the main theme to the 1992 film Last of the Mohicans; and Caledonia, from his first album, which has been covered by numerous singers and groups.
@mckenzies11 thank you very much for the information you've given, I'd like to thank you all friends... I had not heard about this guy who's a great musician before I saw him here. actually it's been a surprise for me, and I'm also happy to find out that a music genius' existence like Dougie... you long live Dougie.. as long as the earth spin your music shall live...
@jgfergus I too just discovered him. I was driving home listening to the Celtic Folk station on my radio and heard his rendition of Oh Are Ye Sleeping Maggie. It's on his Tribute album. I can't find the song on YouTube, but it is AMAZING.

@shakin2009 It's a nice thought, but unfortunately it will probably get buried under the mountain of identical "mainstream" music with it's mass-produced beats and auto-tuned vocals, and forgotten :(
Much prefer this - The original, to the jazzed up version in the movie. Very haunting and as someone described it below - Tribal. Just love it when the Fiddle comes in - Gives me goosebumps. Wonderful live performance.
Jazzed-up movie version? This version uses electric guitars, drums, keyboard, and other electronic effects. The movie version was in keeping with its 18th century theme. I think both are just fine.
I have a question, from which culture this melody belongs ..scottish or native americans because i have seen another clip of a part of this composition being played by indians by flutes and vocal chantings ... Amazing Song :)
@Ali16Baba I thought I might just correct you a mo. The term Celtic for The Gael is incorrect They are Gaelic. In fact the Irish Langauge is named after them. I know I am one. but if u like we can accept celtic but its a Roman term thats all.
The song is Scottish and is call "The Gael", it was written by Dougie MacLean who is the guy playing the fiddle.
This is a different live arrangement of it.
The melody was used by James Horner in Last of the Mohicans hence why people think it was American Indian tune. I presume James Horner must have just liked the tune!
@rajahpuri The song is called "The Gael", And the Gaels were an ancient Celtic tribe in Ireland and Scotland, so I'm assuming that the melody belongs to Scottish culture.
@daisy2121 well, I´ve thought it was composed by Jones and Edelman-it´s always a nice feeling to uncover the truth :-) anyway, it´s still better to think they did it than to think it´s Enya´s song....not that i don´t like her songs at all but this just isn´t one of hers...

This is even better than the original that I heard as accompaniment to the Loch Ness Exhibition many many years ago - wonderful!

I have a question, from which culture this melody belongs ..scottish or native americans because i have seen another clip of a part of this composition being played by indians by flutes and vocal chantings ... Amazing Song :)

@Ali16Baba I thought I might just correct you a mo. The term Celtic for The Gael is incorrect They are Gaelic. In fact the Irish Langauge is named after them. I know I am one. but if u like we can accept celtic but its a Roman term thats all.

The song is Scottish and is call "The Gael", it was written by Dougie MacLean who is the guy playing the fiddle.
This is a different live arrangement of it.
The melody was used by James Horner in Last of the Mohicans hence why people think it was American Indian tune. I presume James Horner must have just liked the tune!

Trevor Jones did the soundtrack, not James Horner ;)

@rajahpuri The song is called "The Gael", And the Gaels were an ancient Celtic tribe in Ireland and Scotland, so I'm assuming that the melody belongs to Scottish culture.

He is indeed.

@daisy2121 well, I´ve thought it was composed by Jones and Edelman-it´s always a nice feeling to uncover the truth :-) anyway, it´s still better to think they did it than to think it´s Enya´s song....not that i don´t like her songs at all but this just isn´t one of hers...
