  • My Grandfather spoke Scots Gaelic as his first language...hearing this song brings back so many memories. Our family was a victim of the Highland Clearances. Isle of Rassay. Now Canadian, but we remember, we remember...

  • This is a traditional song sung in Scots Gaelic lamenting the clearances. The title translated in to English is "I will climb no more"

  • ....The advice does not seem to have been too gratefully received and Norman held nothing but contempt for Padruig Mor Macintyre, a factor on MacDonalds' estates at that time. Norman and his brothers left Skye for New Brunswick, Canada, around 1825 and from there to australia where Norman was drowned. 

  • album notes: "The song was written by Skyeman Norman Nicholson who was born in Skorrybreck in 1798. .. brother to the chief of Clan Nicolson, John, who was the last Nicolson chief to live on the clan lands in skye. Norman was a renowned hunter and fisherman, but his continued practise of killing deer against the law led his uncle, a lawyer in Edinburgh, to advise [Norman] strongly to change his ways.....

  • I'm learning this song right now...I can't read the gaelic words but I listen to the song and I jot down the pronunciation for what I hear, and then I can sing it as it sounds. it's really quite beautiful. i'm scottish but I can't speak gaelic, and now I'd just love an opportunity to learn it. here's to hoping this gorgeous language never dies away...

  • such a beautiful song
