  • What I don't get is the name Fyrish haas a "Y" in it. The letter "Y" doesn't exist in Gaelic yet this place is in Scotland unless it's in Wales. Could someone please clarify this for me?

  • @teery59

    Fyrish is in Scotland , Fyrish lands were once lands which belonged to the Earl of Ross, which were forfeited to the crown in 1475. It is in fact Fyrish hill and not cnoc Fyrish but is usually refered to as cnoc Fyrish. I doubt if the name is gaelic but I will leave that one for the buffs.

  • @teery59 The name FYRISH may have its origins in a Norse word for ‘pine tree’

  • who is singing it?

  • The band is called capercaillie , the lead singer is a girl called Karen Matheson. Google now do lyrics. type in this song " Breisleach " and you will get both english and gaelic words.
