People interested in the history and struggle for the Scottish people should watch this series "Diomhair" it is on youtube in parts, it tells the story of the reclaiming of the stone of destiny from a young student who actually participated in it.
@practicechanter yes it is a true story. In fact if memory serves the people involved were part of the covenanters. Covenanters keep appearing in Scottish History even in modern times. So it was partly a religious statement as well as a political one I believe.
Do get the album. I bought it after seeing them at Cambridge Folk fest, and every track is brilliant. Also, if you ever get the chance to see them live, don't pass it up. Absolutely awesome.
You could totally do a Military Two Step to this...or a Canadian Barn Dance! :) I love it! It's a beautiful language to listen to!

My favourite scottish gaelic song ever. I wish to God I could speak this language-it's so beautiful and so good for this genre of music.

They're not singing about Edward I's theft of the stone at all!
