This is so fitting for me at the minute, i've been about 5 years away from my beloved Scotland now, missed it terribly and have been striving to get back for a long time, yesterday i signed the lease on a lovely house, i'm finally getting back home :-)

[beverage2008]

[KingGhidzilla]

I'm not Scottish or Irish but this song perfectly captures my innermost feelings regarding the US state that I consider home, Tennessee.

[ionabee12]

i love this song. My family goes back centuries being Scottish and although the terrible weather, i love this country more than you would think. It reminds me of my celtic and Gallic (that's Gallic pronounced with an A like Apple, because it's the Scottish one not Irish) heritage and i would just love to be able to play tis on my clarsach ( a small Scottish harp) because it is one of our best national known songs( at least i think everyone has at least heard it, if not knowing it well)!! xxxx <3

[MacFeeley]

[Remidies09]

this was the song played at my good friends funeral, the whole place basically burst into tears. yes we are scottish. such a great song.

[drover44441]

Brought a lump to my throat too, creamthe1st. I saw a video of him telling how he wrote this on a beach somewhere as, i think, he felt a bit homesick. Lovely melody, great voice, true sentiments. Well deserving of the Order of The British Empire. Elizabeth II loves Scotland too!!

[CyberWolfgang1]

I agree with ScottishArtFan. The song, is somewhat maudlin. Yet it recalls the heart of the rolling stone, memories of friends left behind, the bonds with whom we share current times. A beautiful song that takes to Scotland, or any homeland throughout the world, to heaven that lies beyond the earthly home :)

Congratulations Dougie on your OBE

[giuseppe398]

Scotland Forever!!! Courage!

[MrBigMac201195]

Where is this place he speaks so highly of?

[EzioFirenzAuditoreda]

@MrBigMac201195 :) its Scotland,-Caledonia is the Latin name given by the Romans to the land in today's Scotland north of their province of Britannia, beyond the frontier of their empire. Modern use is as a romantic or poetic name for Scotland as a whole.... wikipedia ftw ;)

[MrBigMac201195]

@EzioFirenzAuditoreda Wikipedia at the highest order :) Thanks.

[JohnConnor310355]

Top song, Top video,  makes me proud to be scots!

[Rimpianto]

I'm Italian, but after living in Scotland for a couple of years I've started feeling more at home there than Italy. Home is where your heart stands, and now mine is in Scotland.

[scottishcreamthe1st]

oh christ I'm crying again.... geez the tissues and thanks fro the video.

[pug2able]

thanks, Dougie, cans ae Tennants will never be the same. `````heard it since you first wrote it, still gie's me the shivers.

[NichtAverageFem]

This is wonderful. I can't believe I haven't heard of this song until today. I love it!

[MrJohnmduncan]

this is Douggie's best version of the song by far, Slainte.

[gatedicath]

There are many versions of this song, but Dougie sings it the best. Really great song. :-)

[TheSuperintendant]

lovely pictures... but not as lovely as the pictures in my head. I can leave scotland.. she'll never leave me.

[abbys1818]

[ooamenagareboshi]

I wish I were Scottish. Really.

[comicalhorrorpix]

[olrepas]

I've been living in east coast USA for 6 months after 40 years in the highlands

Man; I'm so homesick. I miss my home and hillwalking with my dog.

This song really helps...

[KillForMoney2]

I heard this song for the first time last summer when i traveled to Scotland, and I only had to hear it once for me to realize how beautiful it was, and i recently remembered it and looked it up. makes my memories of scotland that much more special.

[C11oOo]

Simply Beautiful...

[haddyanne]

I love Scotland so much and always have. This song says it all in words that I could never find!! Caledonia is much more than a song, it is a soul trip.

[daineresis]

I want to live thereeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee­eeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!

[SimulacronX]

Hail. So looking forward to visit mighty Caledonia.

[TheLOVINGJB100]

kaay i cant help but to comment again, this song is super beautiful, as much as I love Canada, id love to live in Scotland, its super beautiful there :)

[TheLOVINGJB100]

[jacdeed]

[dechavy]

Hail Edradour Caledonia! Sublime Bliss!!

[gfallguy]

Still hoping someone can tell me from where this version came....would love to be able to purchase it!

[ianmartin2008]

great photos, obviously a beautiful country!

[almand1960]

In my opinion, Dougie MacLean songs will be remembered in 200 years as Robert Burn's poetry is today...

[jacdeed]

@almand1960 i agree and i know dougie as well and he is a good chap to talk to. takes fame in his stride and still drinks in his local

[gfallguy]

Can you share with me where this version on the song is available for purchase

[ScottishArtFan]

One does not have to be a Celt or Scottish to be moved by this truly Beautiful and Haunting Song. Anyone who has a passion and love for their Homeland will be touched by it. Beautiful images of my Beloved Alba.

[yermaw145]

@ScottishArtFan A celt? Away with yer o'irish pisspots. This is caledonia.

[freethequeen]

@ScottishArtFan

very true mate.....i'm not scottish, but this is beautiful...better by frankie millar, though...

[JohnGilf]

Amen to that! I always get teary-eyed when I hear this - adding the photos just makes me all patriotic! :-)

[TheVintageTV]

I get emotional everytime I hear this song. I am Scottish and proud of it!

[drummondF]
