I love this song. Being a MacLean, I can relate to the sea, and the deep pride I feel for our clan. Mull is a beautiful, wild isle, and the Castle is mystic and magically.

Wonderful! I also enjoyed Deanta's version. Powerful.

I've seen Dougie in concert several times, and I've had the privilege of meeting him. He always encourages the audience to join in. He is not only a superb songwriter and performer, he is a truly beautiful person.

Love this song so much I found a way of playing it standard tuning. Took me a while, but it sounds awesome! xD

Guitar is tuned in open C minor, capo on 5th fret (e.g. played in F minor).
Great song, I am a great fan of Dougie... Should visit the Netherlands as much as I visit Scotland!

This song makes me think of the night we had to take on fuel in the middle of a winter storms off the Scotland Straights. I was only eight months into the USN and it was my first refueling detail, I will never forget the roll of the waves that night and the oiler as she came about, tossing to the point where you could jump from ship to ship almost. I will never forget the cold. Luckily we broke a line and the CO called off the refueling, we made for Faslane the next day and ported in for fuel.

I just love this song, it;'s so empowering and encouraging, through the sense of solitariness it exudes. It just carves itself into my heart as I see the image it paints. It's one of very few songs that touch me in this way. i also liked live versions by Kathy Mattea- she can make it quite powerful too.

Is he tuned Dminor? I was thinking open d, but it sounds like a minor chord
what a feeling must this be when suddenly the audience starts to sing along the lines which came from yourself, deep within - when you achieve to touch people...

The audience made this for me. I LOVE it when an audience contributes to the musicality of a performance. It is a very epic thing.....
The song itself is very well written: Haunting, catchy, uses just the right rhythmic presentation of the lyrics....awesome.
The best version I've heard is still by The Cottars, though. They really showed what this fantastic song is worth, imo.
