A great old favorite that I have been performing for a very long time. There is no author attached to the song.

  • 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

  • I am glad you enjoyed my version; it's been a favortie song of mine for a long time.

  • i am gonna catch shit for this, but the proper name of this song is "The Nova Scotia Song"

  • 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."

  • 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.
