Quite a few of my ancestors on my mother's side of the family hailed from Clan MacDonald. This song stirs the Scot in me. Makes me want to find a MacDonald tartan kilt, paint my face with blue stripes down one side, and go kick some ass somewhere!

I came here via the wiki article about the Last of Mohicans sound track. This is a fine atmospheric tune & performance - and then the melody line that Trevor Jones teased out is a perfect film anthem: simpler, clearer: a story emerging from the atmosphere. It feels like a gift given in return for the incredible harmonics of MacLean's chord progression.
