I'm Scottish and living in Scotland born and bred here and this was a truly beautiful tribute to a wonderful Island great job John McDermott sung it beautifully. Thank You :)
One day, when I'm finally standing on Skye alongside my beautiful daughter SKYE, Highland Lass, I'll let you know. With pic!! Thanks for the delightful posting. Peter, in Australia, and Skye, in California, planning!!
@melbournepeter2007 I too named my daughter Skye, after the song. Only later did I realize what an amazing place the Isle of Skye is. I took her to Scotland for her Master's Degree grad gift - we had dinner on Skye on her 27th birthday. Loved it so much we went back the next year. Hoping to return - would love to live there.
I would love to go there someday... i'm a native american my mothers side of the family name comes from scotland. ( skye) and i'm told we have lots of family there
Well it's a bit soppy the song, but given how beautiful the land and sea of Skye are, in these wonderful pics, I guess it all folds together well. What about some piping of James Budge or other Traditional Skye composers?
Thanks for posting this, and the Culloden connection.
Absolutely amazing! The song, the pictures, all of it. You have done Scots (by birth or by blood) the world over a favor. My next trip will surely include a trip to Skye!
excelent - you´ve done both Skye and the song justice here! I´m not an islander but a mere mainlander but in any case I give you my deepest Scottish thanks!
Scotland is a wonderful country and full of interest and history. Just like Wales.

You're so lucky to be a Scot! The rest of the world (except for China, America, and Singapore) isn't quite as fascinating and cool.

Thanks for posting this. I was in Skye a few months ago :-) Actually there's great scenery just outside Glasgow near Loch Lomond and the Trossachs

Mel Gibson made a mockery of the history....as he does with most cultures he tries to portray.
