Thanks, dear Brenda! I know a heck of a lot of folk songs, but this is one of my top 3 or 4 favorites.

Thanks for that information! I love this song, and I didn't know its background. I always enjoy learning interesting historical information about wonderful folk songs.

Beautifully sung Kallegu!

The composer of this song was John Cameron (1822-1898). He had disembarked from the Glasgow steamer near Ballachulish ferry and composed his song while walking towards his home (called White House) at Glencoe harbour. You can see the scene in Dunach1 on YouTube.

The tune to his song was played on the White House lawn by the Black Watch pipe band for President Kennedy a few days before his assassination.
