A fantastic single, I discovered this one in the early nineties when having joined the fan club I bought up the entire back catalogue and got one of the many spare copies of this one - unfortunately most of the remaining stock was destroyed (i think) in the fan club offices fire many years ago, so I would think there are not that many copies of it left out there...
@autonarr030 agree absolutely, have only seen runrig in german speaking places, hohenklingen, brilliant, zürich, mara, ok, and oberhausen, also supi. slainte!
@faurbyhans The gaels in something like 600BC moved over from what was Ireland, mostly fishermen and occupied what we now know as the western isles, what became of that was The Gaels, the old reason why we have the Gaelic language, named after them.

@mrsGreywolf No I did not dream it up, if you actually have ever wondered why it's called Gaelic, that is why.
