You could “home” maybe with such recent immigration. I long to return , weeping sometimes.; I spent 3 months in 2000. My dear friends there have since passed.
I'm sorry for your loss.I hope you get a sense that he is there when you go. There is certainly something in the air. be it spirits or pride or most likely both. Alba gu brath.
I've never set foot in Scotland and that makes me sad. But my ancestors brought Scotland to me and that makes me very glad. To my brave Scottish ancestors who fought bled and died on Scotland soil only to have to leave their homes, families and friends in search of a better life in the colonies...I have such great respect and a deep love for you all ! Forever proud of a land I never knew ❤
I was there the month of October 2018... Absolutely gobsmacked!! 🌟🏴🌟 Glasgow, Edinburgh and the people especially... Go my friend, it’s waiting for you!
I think that Scotland is an awesome place and that it has such a beautiful culture , I am not Scottish but I lived there for a long time and I am so thankful for the time I got to spend there and call that place home . This song just reminds me of that time and brings back a feeling of home.
I'm an American who lived 20 years in Scotland. I came back a couple years ago, and realize Scotland is my heart home. This is one of my favorite traditional songs!
My mother sang this song all of the time and she named my sweet sister Heather to honor Scotland. She was born in Edinburgh and will always be a part of that land.
The very best Celtic song ever (can it be classified as Celtic? I think it can). My love for this country began when I was 8. And it started from this song. And this particular interpretation is the very best I ever heard. I'm overwhelmed and cannot stop crying for no reason, other than being overwhelmed. Thank you so very much for posting it!
I have just finished watching the movie under the same title. And i fell in love immediately , in a second, in the song!!! I am Polish, the song moves my heart...
I'm of Galician descend (N. Portugal) we share a love of Bagpipes as also having Celtic roots. My precious Wife was of Irish/Scottih descend! We love so much the highlands of both our cultures! This song Breaks my hearts as I lost her to Cancer, 1.5 years ago! How I miss her smile and beautiful eye's looking at me! Such a touching song its as if I can see her again each time I hear it! ❤❤
It's both... The lyrics were originally that of a Scots poet, Robert Tannehill. He set it to music, a traditional folk air, but this tune was adapted much later by a Belfast musician.
Stretch You are definitely wrong Francis McPeak wrote it and was sung by the McPeak trio,traditional Irish music.Google the song and you will see who the author is.The song is not about Scotland.Show me where it says it is a Scottish song?
My da is from Glasgow Me and him would stay up listening to Scottish classic like this he passed away when I was 12 it took me years to listen to song as it always made me cry
The lyrics and melody are a variant of the song "The Braes of Balquhither" by Scottish poet Robert Tannahill (1774-1810) and Scottish composer Robert Archibald Smith (1780-1829), but were adapted by Belfast musician Francis McPeake (1885-1971) into "Wild Mountain Thyme" and first recorded by his family in the 1950s.........Sung superbly by Sarah.
Thanks. A beautiful song of Scotland, which belongs to Mother Earth. Cherish for the Rainbow Children. Beyond nationalism, this is spiritual sustenance. I wish to sing and play it in all of my British homelands.
reading through these comments has made me realise how well known this country acually is and i feel bad for those people who love this country and will never get the chance to see the amazing sights them selves so the people who live here in scottland should enjoy staying hear and the people who dont like it go. there is many people who would die to see this country and i hope the people who has not seen her yet will see and enjoy every minute of it :) from scottland (in a town called Glasgow)
Wish I was born in Scotland,loved going for holidays when I was a child fell in love with scenery ,and the people so kind my uncle came from Glasgow ,loved him so much thank you for this beautiful song , Shirley h Darlington england 😁
I'm Balkan but as a very young child I completely fell in love with Northern European ballads, folksongs & hymns ect, there's something absolutely heavenly and magical about them that I never felt before except in my own people's traditional songs 🤍
***** forgive please I mean CELTIC music, ofcourse. I wished to offend no one. I know, Ireland And Scottland are differend, but sometimes their culture are correspond for people from others countries. I know, uneducated person :) pozdrawiam

The same experience Andy. This was one of dad's favourites. My wee boy asked me yesterday if I knew the song, and then proceeded to sing it. I have no idea where he learned it. His grandfather was away the crow road 20 years ago and he's only 8.
Life's work - that's what I felt the first time I understood the song, living so far away, never been in Scotland and having knowlege of English as second language. Peace in our minds and souls.
Pure Scots both she and I. She turned around in class and said something to me. Cupid had struck. 60 + years later I would have to lay my lassie to her rest. Loving her was not enough; she still passed and left me with a hole in my heart. I have expected her to come claim me as she once did.
+Check Desk TJP Wild Mountain Thyme is a folk song written by Francis McPeake, a member of a well known musical family in Belfast, Northern Ireland, and is of SCOTTISH origin.
Once heard a trio of "Celtic" tenors sing an uptempo version of this song, and it made the song sound quite risque. This slower, calmer version is also very enjoyable.
As a proud Scot, we love this traditional song. It makes us so proud of our country, heritage, and traditions. Please also listen to the Rabbie Burns song Ae Fond Kiss.
Canada came in at second, we are also a very beautiful country. But Bonny Old Scotland is a very beautiful country, according to my parents who toured there quite often, plus parts of England.

I have goose bumps everytime I listen to this song....I'm not born Scottish, but I live in Glasgow 10 years...... I love Scotland, deeply in my heart.

Why Scottish folk music is so beautiful I'm jealous
