Gaelic Song : Fagail Bhearnaraigh (Leaving Berneray)

Following on from the "Berneray Regatta" video, this more sombre travelogue begins at the Beautiful Beasdaire beach and shows Berneray in its "mantle so green" . The track is by Capercaillie and features on "The Blood is Strong" CD and also on "A Prince among Islands." The song was composed by Duncan MacLeod of Berneray.

This is beautiful and I can see why it would be hard to leave such a place.

I love your videos Uistman, thank you so much for this one - I have driven this road many times and it brings back great memories :) Looking forward to being back on North Uist in July for Berneray and Sollas weeks!

Uistman, your choice of music and song is touching, to say the least, and brings back fondest memories of my childhood in Stornoway. God bless you, Uistman. - Peter in New Zealand.
