I was lucky enough to catch Jean Redpath at an intimate concert at Old Sturbridge Village many years ago. I wrote her a letter before she came, and in it I requested that she sing this song. She very graciously obliged, mentioning that it was a request, which she rarely takes because she likes to choose songs that move her at that time. Fab-u-lous! Happy, happy me!
A beautiful song, beautifully sung by a radiant human being!

Her voice is a nugget of gold wrapped in velvet.

Yet another jewel mined from the soil of Scotland.
I hope the music of Scotland survives at least as long as the Earth. Someone shall see. Not me.
