This is beautiful. I stumble on this video by accident. I'm going to nova scotia to study for 2 years and that song just made me want to go now.
Really well done. Thank you very much for this.

I think it's a Gordon Lightfoot song.

My dad's from Halifax... I've been away from home for a long time, so this song has special meaning for me. You've definitely done it justice.

I have search long and far to hear the "Scotia Song" performed to this degree of excellence, and tho' I am a born and bred Englishman, this presentation will allow my bones to rest contented in this Canadian soil

This song comes with many names, one being "Nova Scotia Song", "Farewell Nova Scotia" and "Nova Scotia Farewell". The only thing we really know for sure is that most of it's lyrics were "borrowed" from Robert Tannahill's "The Soldier's Adieu."
