'WhaleSong Sounding': A song for Sir Peter (with lyrics)
'I wrote this song for the late Sir Peter Scott. He knew well the songs I had written to mark the return to Dundee of his father's ship, 'RRS Discovery.' We met during a visit he and Lady Scott made to Dundee. As we parted, he said to me, 'We must do something about the plight of the whale.' I promised him I would write a song.

When she wrote the song she was being courted by a young fisherman from Uig and the song evokes her emotions during that time. Apparently they were married soon after.

For the first time they could see for themselves the ship so closely ass...

Adapted from a seventeenth - century love song, the black rose (Roisin Dubh) came to represent Ireland herself. This English translation from the Gaelic was written by the Irish traditional music historian, Donal O'Sullivan. Realising that earlier translations did not fit the exac...
