Lovely, moving ballad, beautifully performed. But the wee history lesson regarding the origins of the song is incorrect. The galley (ship) to which the song refers was the galley belonging to the MacNeil's of Barra who inhabited Kisimul castle. The MacNeil's piracy is of substantial historical record, including the imprisonment in Edinburgh of Chief Roderick MacNiel of Barra (aka Rory the Turbulent") for piracy against Queen Elizabeth. There is no such person as "Kismuil".

Bards, minstrels, performers, story tellers, and legends the both of them.

the combolins, as used in the song metioned before, actually called "The Great Silkie," and others, were two instruments. each was made up of three elements. Roys had a Banduria, Guitar, and 13 sympathetic Strings. the one Ronnie used had a Mondolin, Guitar and 4 bass strings. i was lucky enough to know the corries, through my parents, and i once had a play on the combolins, although unfortunately i was too young to appreciate it or even remember!!!
