- Runrig are a Scottish band formed in Syke in 1973 by brothers Calum and Rory MacDonald. Donnie Munro joined the following year and he became lead singer. This version of the song Loch Lomond was recorded in Balloch Park which of course stands on the bonnie banks o' Loch Lomond.

A song that has ended every single Scottish party that I've been to.
before the fight
correction - *perfectly* ended every single Scottish party
No party ends in Scotland 😂

Beautiful man!!! 🏴🥰
Am scottish and i dont care what part of the world your from this is just beautiful it puts a lump im my throat 🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴
Yes a lump in the throat of the UK and not a nice feeling these days. Scotland is an embarrassment. Let’s have a referendum in England to give them the independence they obviously want, whether they want it or not. It’s time for us to let them go.
@@jonriley8342 England is the current marker of success though eh! If it wasn't for the royal loving halfwits, the traitorous 55%, and the lying BBC and all the talk about of Scotland 'not being in the EU' if we left, HA! - if they were to vote again now - yeah you'd still have yer sick fck rangers fan type who are all about the royals and dumb shit, but now they'd be outnumbered.
Few songs command the room like this one does at a Scottish wedding!
The big circle. The drunken clapping. It's a Truth my friend, a truth
Or birthday party, or wake or any gathering of drunken Scots
Or birthday party
At least 3 mile needed
THE SCOTTISH WAY🏴🏴🏴
The feeling of being Scottish is like no other! For such a small nation we have the biggest heart and passion of any country on gods earth by far 🙏🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴
I absolutely agree with you. Few days to go and me and my wife visit Scotland again. I missed Scotland so much. Kind regards from Germany
Albaaaaaaaa
My Welsh girlfriend would beg to differ…
No matter where we go .. hame or abroad our blood still stirs...Scottish throughout and proud to be a🏴🏴🏴
Alba gu brath. 🏴
Not that proud. Scotland is UK not it's own country.
As an Englishman I'm stunned by the songs the Celtic language countries can produce that arouse such emotion ; I've seen Runrig 3 times and they always left me in such a high!
Englander RAUS RAUS. Blood and Soil national;ists how 1939s germany
I think - when you identify as a englishman - you have to remember all the influence the "Britishman" has gone through, From being a french from Normandy, thus being a norman from Denmark. Long live the Scotch and the Irish ;-)
A Scot here - You are so lucky i would love to see them live! 😊 I agree their songs do leave you in such a high. I love driving along the East Coast of Scotland past the stunning beaches and scenery, listening to this song on full blast.
you do know the celts was spread out among the whole british isles pretty much, there was many celtish tribes in england, the scots were more pics than celts

I was at this concert and here I am living in the USA for the last 36 years and still missing Scotland … this version of Loch Lomond makes me so homesick. What a classic ! Happy 2023
@gordongavin9448 The atmosphere must have been amazing, with the whole crowd bouncing.
I have probably no Scottish in me, maybe some Irish, I heard this 30 years ago and it is still amazing.
Ilve in the Midlands and they performed at derby to a small playhouse we were lucky to get 4tickets and I was enthralled at the songs and the musical .I was enthralled at the my reaction from the second the first note leading to the rest of my life true fan.
Went to the concert in Balloch, will never forget, on the boney boney banks of Loch Lomand
Really wish I'd been there ... You've never lived til youve been at a wedding or a boozer where they play this at the end of the night.! Oh to be surrounded by a sea of drunken, euphoric Scotsmen and women when that tune's belting oot!!!
Only Scutsmen? Not Irish? :D
stevoid99 was an awesome event. And that’s from an Englishman who was there!
@@The_Gallowglass yes
thats,for sure
Can an Old Danish guy of 73 join ? if so, when is the next airplane ..and where´s my passport and creditcard ? 😂 ohh, almost forgot to say..I am a heavy beer-drinker..so I guess I´ll fit in...OK ? 😄
Proud to be Scottish 🏴🏴
I am German and i Love this Song so much. Bonnie Scotland and brave People..

I've lived in the USA all my 70 years, have known I have Scottish heritage (Maclachlan) for about 60 of those years, have never been to your fair land, but I always get tears when I hear this!
Lost the battle! Tears have won!
Fighting them back just now and sadly loosing miserably
Aye, I totally agree with you miss. I am from India, doing my Masters from the Uni of Glasgow. The Scottish people are among-st the friendliest I have ever come across. At times I wonder if was born in the wrong country...
Well said mate I'm a Scotsman and proud
I am Scottish and not a people person. You should not stereotype people from different countries.

I'm 64 now and living in England but l will go home before I die, l only want to be home in my own country before I go, l miss it more than I can express 😢
Scots never die. Our hearts and souls are to big. Haste yea back hen x
I'm a kiwi yeah jealous the Scottish people I have ever met are beautiful people so kind and friendly God Bless
God bless yr wee soul.. 🏴
I live about 5 mins from the loch and 20 mins and balloch and i could hear this from my bedroom. Would have been amazing to have been there but standing in the garden listening to the melody floating across the countryside was good enough for me!
Katy Bednarski I was 22 and was there with my wife and that time 4 rows from stage wot a night
I'm from Northern Ireland and I think this song is amazing and runrig are a fantastic group. It must make you Scots so proud to be Scottish.
Lots of Northern Irish are Of Scots decent…
@@camhunt7310 more Scots are from Irish descent…. Fuck the Huns 🍀
@@Hibernianfc-cm4uu My Mum is from Ireland, strangely though when I cross the border from England on my motorbike I always sing this in my helmet. I have always felt home then. I found out recently that my Gandad,Great grandad, Great Grandad and Great Great grandad were all from Bells wynd in Edinburgh. The latter is a man I have thepriveledge to be named after.🏴
It really does 😊😊
@@susanwaugh9711 .....and lots of scots are of Irish decent....we're cousins really! ❤
I was there. Mid summer's night. Spine tingling.

@@robertmyles4220 I was born and raised 20 minutes up the A82, I know exactly what it's like 🙂
Recently took my daughter up for a short hol up in Invernesshire from north England, put on 'Made In Scotland' soundtrack and this comes on as we're driving beside Loch Lomond! Hair raising
Staying in Inverness and driving by Loch Lomond some drive that like😂
As a Scot, this fills me with such pride! No party is really over until this is sung with the birthday person, happy couple etc in the middle of a large circle 💙💙
Throwing the happy couple in the air... Memories 👍🏼
Am singing this my 6 year old daughter and she just said to me. Dad how can anybody not like this! 🙂🏴👍♥️
thats so so nice
She has real Scottish taste
And today I am teaching the song to my 3 year old
First time hearing this in 2021. I was bopping all round the kitchen.
runrig song the bonny banks off loch lomond i was in tully chewin caravan park in 1990 and the feel about the place is marverlouse and rest in peace bruce may your spirits remain with the group forever
I live in Scotland and every time I listen to this song it always putts a smile on my face
My grandad was singing this
It's definitely Scotland's own anthem!
And hairs on yer chist
The last song at every scottish wedding. What a voice he has . Imagine if you were there in that crowd.
Probably the best version of Loch Lomond, which is probably the best Scottish song ever.
There's lots of great scottish songs eg The dark island....Will ye go lassie go....My love is like a red red rose....Piper to the end. ( Mark Knopfler)
@@daviemcf I really like the Joan Baez version of "Will ye go lassie go"
A song that makes you proud to be Scottish❤️the best wee place in the world
It’s time to be independent Scotland - take your rightful place among the nations of the world. Cross of St. Andrew flying proudly in NYC outside the UN. Scotland with their own voice in the World!
I’ve heard this song so many times considering i’m from Scotland and it’s one of my favourite songs, but I’ve never heard this live version until now and my god Donnie’s voice is amazing and so powerful ❤️🥹
Fantastic. Just love his incredible voice. A great band
Still get goosebumps listening to this I love Scotland 🏴
This is my country,
The land that begat me.
These windy spaces
Are surely my own.
And those who here toil
In the sweat of their faces
Are flesh of my flesh,
And bone of my bone
this will be a memory for ever by far the best live gig I EVER attended
Same pal x
Lucky you. I'm jealous 🙌
I bet it was fantastic xx
Not really jealous...
Just so proud to be a scot. The best nation in the world. And this is the best band,
Apart from the Drugs..
@@camhunt7310 that’s the best part
2021 and it still hits the spot cheers Donnie.
How about 2022? :)
@@Isleofskye 2022 and it still won't ever get old.. Even in 2090 this will be a classic everyone listens too 💯👌👌
2024
Nothing beats this
Learned on a loch lomond cruise that the line "you take the high road and ill take the low road and ill be in scotland before ye" refers to the Scottish folklore that when a Scottish person dies in another country the fairy's bring them back to Scotland before they ascend to heaven. This is known as the low road ❤️
I am from India and I love this song so much 😊🇮🇳
I feel this song in my soul. I'm so glad I had the chance to see Loch Lomond and Scotland, the home of my grandfather's ancestors. Scotland has to be the most beautiful place on earth if you ask me.
i could not agree more although In was born in Central England I made a promise to my dad who came from Dundee that I would someday move north well here I am in Caithness and we love it saw the Stirling Concert when Donnie quit amazing band and they still are
I was born in Glasgow Scotland live in Greenock down the coast visit and camp loch Lomond regularly it's the most stunning place I've ever been I'll die here aswell never left Scotland 🏴 don't have to I even holiday here it's the most beautiful country to be in 🏴
Look at that crowd going nuts. Beautiful.
Absolutely brilliant from start to finish, proud to be Scottish 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Come on merry Christmas brother from one Scot to another

I was there, an unforgettable day.
I live within 20 minutes drive from Loch Lomond and I never tire of its beauty especially when viewed from the top of the hill of the road leading from Gareloch over to Loch Lomond.
Runrig are a marvellous advertisement for Scotland
im 62 and THIS IS SCOTLAND
Scottish and proud. Living now in the USA but scotland will always be home.
This song and group are so infinitely Scottish, truly makes me proud
I'm Irish and always loved this song. My late mother used to sing this to us as children. What a spine tingling version. Eire agus Albain go brach.
gu dearbh
I hope you Have heard the one about Ireland they did. Brings me to tears every time.
“Eirinn” it’s called. Some fabulous lines.
“What make me walk through Ireland shrines and Irelands holy shores ……..
…. There’s something here, that draws me near, to wear, the green for you”
If ever I feel down.... I watch this and it cheers me up soooo much. God I wish I was Scottish..... Bless all I jocks 😊
Stunning. Donnie Munro`s voice is really quite something.
Could hear this awesome band every day ❤ love from germany ❤
I love Musik from Scotland.
Kind Reagrds from Austria :)
Love Runrig. I heard them first when I was living in the U.S. (I am Scots). I cried my eyes out the first time I heard this. I am home now.
I'm English, I *love* this song and I love Runrig. I also love Scotland. Have this particular performance on CD too (ie live).

Being a Scot living in New Zealand this is fantastic to hear. Thank you.
Taylor christiansen New Zealand put's me in mind of Calender in Perthshire beautiful 🌷
long way from the rain lol
Danced to this many a time in london after moving there for work in the late 80s/early 90s. Had all their early albums in plymouth as was into celtic/folky influenced music..Got to say that of all the many dance folk/rock/whatever type bands i have experienced live in my 69 years i have never danced as much as i did to these guys. Calum macdonald was a fantastic songwriter and musical genius. The gaelic lyrics were unsurprisingly over my head but boy could he pen a tune that could lift the soul or have you madly jigging around with a massive grin on your face. Sad its all over for them now, and me too with jigging around anymore, as time moves on but those live runrig musical memories will never leave me.
This is a song that I think no one will ever forget and it is a wonderful song
There will never be a band which commands such love, loyalty and respect, and such bloody fantastic music as these guys; at least not in my lifetime!!!
I've always loved this even though i'm not Scotish ! One of my bestest Friends who very sadly passed away a couple of years back introduced me to RunRig, It always reminds me of the one & only Fruit Bat aka Chris Townsend ! Miss you my friend RIP !
One of my most favourite songs of all time. My mom's name was Bonny she died in 2007 at just 50 years old. Although my family left Scotland centuries ago this song makes me feel closer to my family and my heritage.
Sorry for your loss. 🏴
@@kirkdandie thank you
more of a folk purist here but.....my goodness how can you not love this, such beautifull vocals, such togetherness with the crowd just wow!!
Spirit of Scotland captured in one song
One of the greatests songs ever! Regards from Germany.
To me personally, the best live version ever of Loch Lomond by the band.
This is for You Eddie Anderson
RIP Brother ♥💜♥
Still one of the most iconic songs ever
Come on Scotland you can do it 🏴🏴💙
There are Good & Bad in every country of this world & the many others that must exist in this Universe. I absolutely adore Scotland, it's Traditions,Languages, favourite tipple (and that's not a famous fortified wine :) ) and most importantly the wonderful People that are so welcoming. I love Scotland & I know I was born elsewhere but have scot ancestry. I travel but everytime I come back to Scotland ...I'm truly Home
I was there,the whole day was amazing
Remember playing pool against my Dad (rest in peace) in a pub in Eymouth and this coming on the jukebox. Great memory - thanks for the song.
I am from Uruguay, a friend of mine traveled to your lands, brought this masterpiece to my knowledge, ever thankful for that moment
The first time I heard this, I was in the Bettyhill Hotel Pub, in 2000, an American tourist looking for herself and making new friends. I was so moved I began to weep and had to go outside to heather and hill to compose myself. The way Runrig performs it is an amazing, moving anthem! I love it! Goosebumps and tears, indeed!! Thank you, Lads!!!
I know exactly what you mean. Well I've never been an American tourist but I fell in love in Scotland with Runrig as the background. Isle of Skye festival in that glorious summer 1986. What a life! We were at Loch Lomond for this show. We went home by boat across the Loch.
@@FrankRobinson99 wow!
One of very best days of my life being at this runrig concert at Balloch
There’s a lot of things that make us proud to be Scot’s, and that’s up there with the best of them🏴
they used ti play this in a wee bar i used to frequent back in the 90s was the last song every closing time,had the place jumpin everyone singin along was fkn brill
Spine tingling to a Canadian who was born of Scottish parents right after they immigrated to Canada. First heard this version whilst living in Saudi Arabia where 125 Scot Expats gathered in a compound to Out sing they bastard English ( for the game they were) in the Euro 2000 playoff Done it over both legs 125 Scots 3 Irish burds and a Canuck outsinging the English and their Vindaloo song we were belting out to this. Great tune.
sometimes i wish i was born Scottish but i did marry one. love runrig.
Last year my wife and I went on a Globus coach tour of Scotland and we both loved the country and its history. Scotland and Loch Lomond made a deep impact on me and while searching for the latter on iTunes I found Runrig. I too have the same feelings and reactions as THeGC1888 has every time I play it. Runrig is a great band and there presentation of Loch Lomond along with the audience's participation
is for me deeply moving. Loch Lomond is really more a revered anthem of Scotland and should never be trivialised as simply a song.
I am a Scot.
I speak from the heart.
I drink my whisky from a Quaich
I wear my clan tartan with an arrogant pride
I fight back tears at the skirl of the pipe and drum
I will walk once again in the land of my ancestors and know that I am home.
Dobber the robber
Here in Scotland we just call that walking, to the bus, the boat or to the end of the street.
and i drnk mine fea a cup
me tae stevie lol
Amen brother
My Primary school teacher talked the class through the story of the song and we performed it in the school concert some 60 years ago. I've always loved the song, but this is by far the best version i have ever heard. Superb stuff RIP Donnie!!!
If its the lead singer donnie munro you are saying RIP to, he's not dead
The song brings back great memories. I was one of the lucky USN sailors in Holy Loch. Loved my time there.
We miss you Yanks soo much....I grew up when you were based her. Lovely memories
They were in Denmark last saturday, and this was one of the encores. I nearly cried! Love them!
Wow this brings back the memories! I was at this gig and what a fantastic day it was. The sun was shining, the beer flowing and the music during the whole day was just great.
Ich habe die Band ein paar Mal gesehen, darunter auch in Freiburg in den 90er Jahren und vor ein paar Jahr auch hier in der Messehalle und es war immer wie ein Besuch in Schottland. Traditionelle Rhytmen mit tollem Chorgesang und einem Publikum, dass immer begeistert mit gegangen ist und mit einem echten Glücksgefühl aus den Konzerten ging. Die letzte Blu-ray von ihnen zum Abschied war ein grandioses Abschiedskonzert und hinterließ ein Gefühl von echtem Wehmut!
Brings a tear every time I hear this
We had this at our wedding at Duck Bay marina in 2018.. My wife being from Glasgow and me from Sheffield I'm an adopted Scot.. Alway get this put on when I'm out.. Its amazing how many people enjoy this song for the first time...
It was a glorious day and evening, worth the trip, and great that there were so many other nationalities, i stayed in Renton next to Balloch the night before and after the concert, was a fantastic weekend,
wow lived in balloch from 3 until I was 8. best time loved it.
We met this amazingly nice and immensely talented individual ( Donnie Munro) at my sons cafe in Glasgows west end, North Star in Queen Margarets drive years ago. I will never forget it. He was a diamond. X
Its only Donny could sing it so brilliantly iam a true SCOT
I was driving a german highway yesterday at the dusk and was thinking about the shitty day I had at work. Then this song came on the radio. First I thought what kind of a song is this, the singers voice sounded so odd to me. I couldn‘t really understand most of the lyrics. But the more I listened, the better I liked it. Scotland must be a beautiful land. Would love to visit. ❤
Do visit our country its the best the world has to offer
You will be made very welcome anytime you come over
I'm Irish and proud but this song gives me goosebumps and hairs stand on the back of my neck I feel patriotic towards Scotland,I've Scottish ancestry in my family tree somewhere this is also an Irish song called red are the roses
I am also Irish with some Scottish ancestory and we all used to sing Loch Lomond. Then Tommy Makem and the Clancy Bros changed the actual words to "Red is the Rose" I am nearly certain that it was actually Tommy Makem.
who took the melody and put his own words to it and called it "Red is the Rose" . On saying it might have been Liam Clancy but I do remember Tommy Makem talking about Loch Lomond and explaining what they did.
I think all these people have passed on. They were a great folk group.
Well I'm Scottish and i'm beautiful thank you very much.
i bet you are, all scots are beautiful inside and out. best country and people in the world without a doubt.
The thing about Runrig concerts is everyone look so damn happy. I saw them in 96 in London-such a great band!
Seen them at loch Lomond,Glasgow green,Oban, Manchester and each venue was jumping when they take to the stage from the first to the last song
What a great place to stay. I'm so lucky to have such a great view
Makes me so proud to be Scottish
I only found this group a few months ago and I so feel like I could have enjoyed them all my life. But thank God, I found them at 76 years old. I listen all the time and have every song available in my playlist now. 🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴
A very underrated and talented band
There is no people prouder than the Scots, and rightly so. You are all wonderful. Love from New Zealand.
Not that fucking proud if they voted to English rule haha
My favourite Scottish musicians.
Have you ever seen a crowd react like that, with such passion and unision? That is what it is to be Scottish! 🏴
I’m in Sarajevo with goosebumps! I love this song, this group and Cape Breton!£
