The tune is an old one long before it was associated with Benbecula,. However the Island is generally believed to be South Uist, an island in the outer Hebrides. The name actually means the lands beyond the sea.
Scotland is changing. No, make that The Scottish People are changing. What's happened to the friendly, kind, helpful, caring and humble Scots men & women? They have ALL turned into the LOCH NESS MONSTERS!
I'm glad I'm not the only one who sees the Mormon Church for what it actually is. I liked your comment on the video with Glen Beck talking about why he became a Mormon.
It's Jan. 1st, 2010 and this is the first piece of music I hear! An achingly beautiful melody, and not just to an ex-pat like myself. Best wishes to all YouTubers for the new year.
Yeah well, having lived in Scotland for 15 years, my whole life, I have to say for living in a small town it amazes me how almost every morning I'm amazed by the scenery, the light rain, the fog, the wind, the sun of the cool blue sky, I think you'll love it. Even if there's nothing to do the scenery compensates for it entirely and I would love to know what the highlands are like, sadly I've never been to them yet but there's still time. :)
Great video and one of my best childhoof memories.
What a beautiful piece and beautifully arranged and played. These lovely pictures remind me once again of why I'm determined to visit Scotland at least once in this life.
You know it doesn't matter if this tune is played on the Harp, Accordion or the Bagpipes, it is a wonderful tune. Even the Red Hot Chili Pipers did a splendid version. Lovely tune that I think is impossible to play without rousing the Celtic spirits. Thanks for posting

An t-eilean dorcha (Dark Island) isn't the real name of the island! It's Beinn nam Fadhla (Benbecula) :)
