Sheila's official video for this 1989/90 release.
It's a somewhat Indianized version of the song "MacCrimmon's Lament."
Below is background info and lyrics for the song:
According to Hopekirk, this melody was composed in 1745 on the departure of Donald MacCrimmon by his sister. Another legend has it that Donald MacCrimmon had a premonition of his death and composed the tune the night before he died and that his sister later wrote the words. Donald MacCrimmon is said to have been killed in a skirmish in 1746 at the Rout of Moy during the last Jacobite Uprising. The MacCrimmons were famous pipers and the hereditary pipers of the Clan MacLeod.
MacCRIMMON'S LAMENT (with appreciation to mkm576)
Doun Coullin's peaks the night is sailin' The banshee crouns her note o' wailin' Bit my blue een wi' sorrow are streamin' For him that will never return - MacCrimmon
(Chorus) No more, no more, no more forever In war nor in peace shall return MacCrimmon Till daws the great day o doul an burnin' MacCrimmon is home no more returnin'
The breeze on the braes is mournfully moanin' The brook in the hallow is plaintively mournin' Bit my blue een wi' sorrow are streamin' For him that will never return -- MacCrimmon
(Chorus)
Its dirges of woe the sea is sighing, The boat under sail unmov'd is lying; The voice of waves in sadness dying Say, thou art away and ne'er returnest.
Chorus
We'll see no more MacCrimmon's returning In peace nor in war is he returning Till dawns the great day of woe and burning, For him, there's no more returning.

Part 2. "Tantum scuto angusto lanceaque contenti, proeterea gladio nudis corporibus dependente." Herodian Lib. iii. 268. etc.
No one claims that the Scotii built any "stones" or were there before the Picts.
Incidentally I AM Scots as have been all generations of my family for at least 500 years I live quite close to you and know Dunoon well. End of discussion.
haha fine if your going to reference books that were published under the reign of Q. Victoria. I would refer you to modern historians. I dont find Wade in any book on mythology But if you wish to keep your romaniticed version of Scotland. so be it end of discussion
Part 1. Fact The Caledonians were those referred to by Romans as Picts - not separate groups.
I do not wish to get involved in further argument so I can only refer you away from myth and hearsay and recommend you go to reliable sources such as Pinkerton "That the Caledonians and Picts were one and the same people is now universally allowed."—Pinkerton, i., 105, Continued in part 2.

The shivers are running up my spine and the hairs on the back of my neck are standing up - this performance is too beautiful for words to describe.
