Runrig - The Summer Walkers

[jukebox489]

I saw a Band called Shiehallion preforming this song in Inverness! Never saw it at a runrig concert, but the singer of Shiehallion announced it as his favourite Runrig Song ;)

You've got to read The Summer Walkers and spend time in Dornoch and the Northern Highlands to love this song as much as I do...ah...thanks!

[bebiehhhDeluxe]

I really really love this song...

grey windblasted and rained out is beautiful!!

[Sandyhendry]

Scotland is a master at dressing up something grey, windblasted and rained out as the most amazing place on the planet. It's almost like every song needs to be about how fantastic Scotland to make you stop thinking what a dump it is. Actually I love the place to bits but I'm here in Hong Kong and the weather, the food, the mountains, the beaches are all pretty comparable but there aren't 5000 songs written to convince you of it.

[eekybee66]

so where would you rather be?

[Sandyhendry]

@eekybee66. Phi Phi Island in Thailand, Guilin in China, the Alps in Switzerland etc. etc.... I love Scotland but every time I visit it rains and then the weather clears up and you get eaten by midgies.

[greyseal2519]

Even more poignant when you've been to or seen all the beautiful places mentioned in this great song!

[santiano42]

It's kind of like Stan Rogers' Northwest Passage

I LOVE IT

And it's up by the Shin

And up by the 'Naver

And the long winding shores

Of Loch Maree

By Ben Hope and Ben Loyal

By Stack and by Arkle

The road reaches far

Now the summer is here

[SavedandSound]

The thing I admire so much about Runrig (aside from their immense talent) is their ability to convey--and inspire--pride, loyalty and passion for Scotland through their brilliant music. And they do it with respect and great sensitivity.

Come to America, lads--we could use some songs of hope and cheer.

all I can think off to say is...... SIMPLY THE FECKIN BEST

[jamac1969]

I grew up in Sutherland, a magnificently beautiful part of the world. I left many years ago, but love going back home. i know all the places in the song, and i feel homesick listening to it. i think i will now go and organise a trip home lol.

[Segorean]

One of my favorite songs. Awesome! Thanks for sharing.
