The actual Gaelic word is tiugh, and unless you’re in North Arran 100 years ago, it’s pronounced ‘choo’. However, you are correct in that tiug (or in this case tiugg) would be pronounced ‘choog’ :)

This is a song sung to 'waulk' ie shrink and felt the finished tweed to make it waterproof and the colours fast. It would be done by 8-12 or even more women sat ata board and rhythmically thumping the damp tweed. The song would be sung by one woman and the other women would sing the refrains. It takes about 30 songs and three hours to waulk a tweed.
I said 'felt' but actually you have to stop before the wool begins to felt, but is just thick and fluffy. You can see more on our website www.waulk.org
My grandmother and I used to sing waulking songs as we worked - in the garden, sewing, or cooking together. I never really heard the English translations, only that the song was about love. Thank you very much for this, I feel like I've reconnected with her, even just a little. :)
@@nourhanbe6163 waulking is the process of basically beating up wet tweed fabric until it has the right texture and stretch/shrinkage; many women at a time work on the same piece of fabric, so they sing to keep rhythm.
I'm Irish/Scottish, and it makes me cry in joy to see all these people loving this language so much. It's a dying language and I don't want this to die. 💘
I could be learning Spanish right now (something I would probably actually get good use out of) but I absolutely fell in love with the Scottish/Irish accent and language thanks to outlander. Now I’m working on it. I started learning it about a week ago and it’s been so much fun :) very sad that it’s a dying language, it’s so beautiful. We gotta keep it alive! Slàinte!
it's an absolutely stunning and beautifully heart warming language. Knowing that it might die one day out of existence breaks my heart. Albeit it being quiet difficult to learn I have taken on the task to learn it at least somewhat fluently to hopefully one day sing all those beautiful Gaelic songs to my children
@@tovarishlumberjack2356 Only around 1% of Scots can speak Gaelic meaning it is gradually being lost as a language, so it's not really an alternative reality, is it?
My wife and I started a language learning trend in our family. Twelve people decided to all learn Gaidhlig. She and I were hoping to have a language we could speak secretly to one another around the kids but it is fun to have us all learning another language together.
Being a pregnant girl called Anna, I feel pretty seen right now 😅😅😅😅 This just popped up in my feed, love it! Also my hubby is a dark haired handsome dude 😅
To anyone who didn't catch it by the rhythm of the song, this is a Sea/work Shanty song. It's main purpose is meant to keep rhythm and timing with a task. Such as rowing a boat, pulling a top sail, or scrubbing a deck. During the eighteenth century the Hanoverian Tyrants of England, especially after the Last Jacobite Rebellion, press ganged many Scottish and Irish young boys into service in the Royal Navy. So being so young, many of the boys adopted old wives songs that they heard their mothers sing to keep rhythm with the work.
phantomwriter05 actually this particular song and rhythm is used during the activity of waulking, (making the tweed that was used for clothing soft by beating it with urine in a circle on a table) it is very similar to a sea shanty song though!
Yeah, I figured ... But we're both right. Most Celtic Waulking songs were appropriated on ships and Army postings in the mid and late eighteenth century due to many young boys being pressed into service and remembering their mothers and aunts Waulking songs. It's just that, because, the British didn't allow Gaelic to be spoken after the last Jacobite Rebellion, many of the songs took different words, but the rhythm and music remained the same. For example The Irish Jacobite Song oro bheatha bhaile is also the tune for "What do you do with a Drunken Sailor?", even this song Gaol ise Gaol has an Army equivalent used during the Napoleonic Wars that Irish and Highlanders sang on the march in Spain ... though , to be fair, I don't remember what it's called anymore.

Russian and Celtic are but two of many separate branches of Indo-European languages. With or whether they are ethnically related is somewhat uncertain. Gaulish was an ancient Celtic language in as much as Proto-Slavic or Old Church Slavonic was.

My grandparents came to NYC because they were in love and the laird of Butte and MacPherson Chief wouldn't allow them to remain in service and to marry.
My three kids are learning Gaelic at school. Giving your children the possibility of being bi-lingual is a gift that pays off relentlessly in the years ahead.
Saw women in Scotland doing a wool waulking demonstration and they sang several songs, this being one of them. I can still see them passing and pounding the wool to the beat of this song.
I love this! I love Celtic music and sea shanties. And I heard someone say this “waulking” song was designed simmilar to a she shantie. As in it was meant to accompany work and keep it a certain rhythm. It’s very lovely to listen too.
I love that each 'verse' is about something different. I like to imagine the original composers just deciding to play a game where each of them makes up one verse; maybe on the fly.

You know, I think this is the most beautiful language. I do not speak any form of Gaelic, as I am a fluent German and English speaker, but I've always admired Gaelic. I hope someday to learn more of this beautiful language.
Not necessarily. The name Neil has been in fairly constant use in that part of the world, ever since that kingdom was there. On the other hand, the use of a patronymic rather than a surname definitely puts it back a couple of hundred years or so.
Columba/Colm Cille (from Derry-Doire Cholm Cille) copied another's book and was brought before the Árd Rí (High King) of Ireland who gave the verdict "To every cow her calf, to every book its copy" and banished him to Iona. He founded a new monastery there but it was an island already owned by his Clan. (Gaeilge - Clann.)
I am Polish & Italian but I cannot deny that my heritage absolutely must go back to Ireland or Scotland it all resonates with me -I can feel it in my soul❤️
This is breathtakingly beautiful 😍 As someone who is just recently getting into studying the history of the Celtic languages, and getting a feeling for their sound...this is a godsend. And besides that, good music 👌
B.C. epoch- this song was there, in Scotland... the men, who were the hunters, food-providers, could feel charmed by the sweet women, at such a song; they would retain however a little masculine indifference, thinking this good for strength towards such provision. Some this-continental flavor, of this music production- this undoubtedly stems from Nova Scotia, Alba Nuadh; this is the most beautiful, excellent singing...
If there's one thing that never changes, it's that people like to sing when they got work to do. Literally has gotten me through five years of making pizzas, oddly enough. Such a beautiful song, and a beautiful language. I'm tempted to learn it, but I've got no clue where I'd even start.
There's a Duolingo course. And a decent amount of Gaelic media on TH-cam. There's a channel called "Carl's Lingo Kingdom" who has a few short videos discussing the Gaelic language and using Gaelic phrases.
Tapadh leat for this.. it is wonderful to have the singing with lyrics and translation right there. If you get one of He Mo Leannan Ho Mo Leannan I would love it. Walking songs are such fun to sing.
's e do bheatha :) that's a good suggestion, I'll probably try with Navan's version, it's the best I could find... it's nowhere to be found on TH-cam though, I just hope they'll let me upload it!

The Scottish language sounds very beautiful to me. It's so distinct from my own language. Listening to the words in this song I get the idea that they roll over the tongue in a completely different way. I wonder how long it would take a Dutchman to learn this language.
i think you would get it quick, i used to date a Dutchman from Amsterdam, and this Philly girl picked up Nederlands pretty fast when i went there w him, and i think that kinda guttural (spelling is wrong, sorry) hhheh sound you guys sometimes make (like at the beginning of "goed", and the like) would translate to their guttural sounds well. might have slightly different tongue placement, esp for the "LL", but i actually think theyd mesh well.
@@IDontKnow-pf6en Aha, now this is gonna be interesting. Would you like to tell me more about how Dutch did sound to you prior to when your brain started to recognise words and sentence structure?
A good waulking song :) Tha mi ag ionnsachadh Gàidhlig agus tha an tidsear agam Gearmailteach. I'm learning Gaelic, and my teacher is a German (hope I got that last bit right, hehe). I once watched an old documentary from the 1980s about the Celts. The Gaelic song at the end of one episode was much more mournful than this one. It was sung by Kathleen MacInnes. Not sure if it was the same Kathleen MacInnes, given how different these two tunes are... EDIT: It was actually Kathleen MacDonald who sang the song from the 1980s series. I think she's from The MacDonald Sisters. EDIT 2: A few years on and my Gaelic above is worthy of improvement 😂 The following would be better: "'S e neach-ionnsachaidh na Gàidhlig a th' annam, 's an tidsear agam às a' Ghearmailt."
I am an American who lives in the Southeastern U.S. We have a large population of people who are Scottish or Irish or Scotch-Irish. My ancestors came to America and we lost a great portion of our heritage. I am trying to recapture our shared culture, but damn is it hard.
I feel that. I live in the southeastern US as well, and my mothers side of the family is Irish. They came to America through Ellis island in the early 1900s, and while my family is fairly well off in that regard, due to the fact that some of the objects they brought with them are still in the family and my aunt knows a good deal about our family history, its still very difficult to recapture that culture once its been lost.
Do not equate the Scots Irish as being Irish, they are Scots who happend to live in Northern Ireland, they are Scots and never will be Irish. I think you Americans really need be educated on the facts. They lived in Northern Ireland then went to America. SAOR ALBA GU BRATH
I'm an Irish girl at birth. I was born in Galway and i have to say it really is a beautiful country. My whole family is airish but I don't think that many of them can speak fluently speak gaeilge. Now thinking about not many people actually know the language but of course there is reason behind it. There is one place in Ireland that I know of. In spidil most people that live there can speak Irish fluently. The Irish dancers and the highland dancers are also really good. I'm and Irish dancer and I absoultly love the music. It's nice and lively. Theres alot of scottish Irish dancers aswell. Theres also the shanoes dancers. You should really check out the traditional music, tiz good crack to mess around and dance to.

Puerto Rican as well, and have some Irish ancestry. The history and culture of Scotland has always fascinated me. The Gaelic language and music are beautiful.
I'm of Puerto Rican descent too, but I've always been interested in Irish, Scottish, and British culture. I don't know if I have any Irish or British blood, but I haven't looked further into my ancestry than my great-grandparents, so it's possible. Most Puerto Ricans are descended from Spaniards and Spain is a close neighbor of Ireland and Britain, so their peoples could have done a lot of intermixing, especially in the time periods in which the population was so small that they had to look far away for spouses in order to avoid having to marry their cousins.

Ok thanks for reminding me I need to learn it

I love this song. It was great to see the women all together to do the washing and singing this song in Outlander.
Hello from Luxemburg, Europe. I discovered this Scottish Gaelic language who speaks to me, it's beautiful, magical and amazing. Thanks
if this doesn't play at my wedding, i'm not going
I am learning on Duolingo, I have even roped my sister in to learn with me. My ancestors were taken to Virginia for fighting in the 1715 Scottish Rebellion.
Gle, gle snog! Extremely nice singing- her singing has a resinous quality which many of the very best singers have! B Major is kind of a basic, rather sacred key, in folk music; for many songs.
Sasssenaaacch !! (Claire Beauchamp-Fraser-Randall) we see you there
Yasssss
Feasgar math Beautiful music, It reminded me of a Native American chant.
Again and again ,I enjoy to listen this beautiful song ! It brings Sun in my Heart! Thank you Mrs Macinnes!!!!
I found this video searching " mystic ancient scotish music" idk why i find every thing so beautiful and mystic about those places, but i love that. Greetings from albania.
These are the songs they sing in the land of the gods most beautiful thing 😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀
Breton here (from Armorica), I'm loving this ! Beautiful song and beautiful voice !
I love listening to this song by this great singer whilst driving up to the Scottish highlands. It sets the atmosphere.
I'm very grateful and emotioned listening your magical tunes!!! Certainly it's a most beautiful tune!! Many blessings to you!!!
I like this one. It reminds me of a children's song from my country Bulgaria - "Nie sme voinitsi"("We are soldiers").
Being an southAmerican woman with a LOT of passion for Gaelic culture (lenguage/music/love for Celtic nature druids times/love for taking care mother Homeland and Mother Earth)it's my passion and I know because an amazing past life there plus maybe..some ancestors fare back in time but Romain empire eliminate so much and then British empire..now globalization..so hopefully will not be more extinction for such a beautiful❤️ Peaceful people but became worriors only for defend themselves from selfish empirealistic egocenter cultures. I choose heart cultures!and you?🌞let's protect them!
You know, I think this is the most beautiful language. I do not speak any form of Gaelic, as I am a fluent German and English speaker, but I've always admired Gaelic. I hope someday to learn more of this beautiful language.
Out of all of the songs I've heard on TH-cam, this is definitely one of them
Beautiful language ❤❤
I love this song, thanks.
Thank you for sharing, love the song, always love hearing Gaelic!
Unbelievably beautiful!
I have been looking for this song for monts! so happy to have found it :))
Definitely not the same as Irish Gaelic like everyone thinks 😂
this is very beautiful
@Michael Halligan u doin me an educate
The picture of Claire!❤🥺
I like songs like this, Celtic and Irish. This was sweet and pleasent. Thanks for sharing.
That song is OLD, if she is ''the daughter of Neil'' it means she was one of the Ui Neil who created the kingdom of Dal Riata.
Not necessarily. The name Neil has been in fairly constant use in that part of the world, ever since that kingdom was there.
On the other hand, the use of a patronymic rather than a surname definitely puts it back a couple of hundred years or so.
Columba/Colm Cille (from Derry-Doire Cholm Cille) copied another's book and was brought before the Árd Rí (High King) of Ireland who gave the verdict "To every cow her calf, to every book its copy" and banished him to Iona. He founded a new monastery there but it was an island already owned by his Clan. (Gaeilge - Clann.)
It’d be fun to have her as an ancestor!
I am Polish & Italian but I cannot deny that my heritage absolutely must go back to Ireland or Scotland it all resonates with me -I can feel it in my soul❤️
@Fred Limkin very well Fred thank you & you?
@Fred Limkin West Palm Beach Florida, you?
@Fred Limkin yes a few times, my Sister lived there for quite some time San Bernardino & Alameda.
@Fred Limkin the weather is Gorgeous (always)
@Fred Limkin very nice! Perhaps I am from there also, let’s see what the ancestry DNA results have to say😃
This was so beautiful I enjoyed it very much!!!!!
This sounds so great! I love gaelic music, no matter from where exactly. Greetings from Germany.
Not even from Scotland nor could I even speak Scottish Gaelic, but this song just makes me happy and I like it either way :D
this is scottish! not irish :)
I see, my bad lol
@@maihardy9343 thx for reminding, I fixed it now
It gives me a Scottish buzz. My old language from afar. True Scottish. Alba gu brath
This is breathtakingly beautiful 😍
As someone who is just recently getting into studying the history of the Celtic languages, and getting a feeling for their sound...this is a godsend. And besides that, good music 👌
As someone who is learning the language this is definitely a good way to start learning outside of studying
It's beautiful, so particular and fascinating ❤️ love from italy 🇮🇹
I love this thank you for putting this on u tube Paul payton Birmingham England 🌞👄❤👍 x x x x x
I’m learning Gàidhlig, and it made me really happy whenever i could understand parts of the lyrics
B.C. epoch- this song was there, in Scotland... the men, who were the hunters, food-providers, could feel charmed by the sweet women, at such a song; they would retain however a little masculine indifference, thinking this good for strength towards such provision. Some this-continental flavor, of this music production- this undoubtedly stems from Nova Scotia, Alba Nuadh; this is the most beautiful, excellent singing...
If there's one thing that never changes, it's that people like to sing when they got work to do. Literally has gotten me through five years of making pizzas, oddly enough.
Such a beautiful song, and a beautiful language. I'm tempted to learn it, but I've got no clue where I'd even start.
There's a Duolingo course. And a decent amount of Gaelic media on TH-cam. There's a channel called "Carl's Lingo Kingdom" who has a few short videos discussing the Gaelic language and using Gaelic phrases.
Tapadh leat for this.. it is wonderful to have the singing with lyrics and translation right there. If you get one of He Mo Leannan Ho Mo Leannan I would love it. Walking songs are such fun to sing.
's e do bheatha :) that's a good suggestion, I'll probably try with Navan's version, it's the best I could find... it's nowhere to be found on TH-cam though, I just hope they'll let me upload it!
What a wonderful wee song ! I love it!
Beautiful. Bravo bravissimo.
dude, this is cool
I remember getting taught this in like p2 or 3 and holy shit I’ve only just found it and the nostalgia is fucking insane
Ohh...I've been searching for such a wonderful journey too
I love how clear the sounds are in this one.
Cadwch yr hen iaith fynd 👍🏴
I'm Iraqi , daughter of the desert .but I've forever dreamt of the highlands & the life I could have in a small hut there. 2022 might finally be the year the dream come true . ♥️
Eww stay in your desert pls. We don't need more third-worlders defiling our lands
@@raraszek lol troll
@@ieetrgun2620 Why is someone expressing a point of view believed by the majority a troll, you are the fukin troll.
Ignore the two foul morons. I think your deserts are beautiful! And if you wish to come here, I hope you're able.
I'm in love with this language, it's foreign and so old yet still so beautiful.
Her voice is so beautiful....
The Scottish language sounds very beautiful to me. It's so distinct from my own language. Listening to the words in this song I get the idea that they roll over the tongue in a completely different way. I wonder how long it would take a Dutchman to learn this language.
i think you would get it quick, i used to date a Dutchman from Amsterdam, and this Philly girl picked up Nederlands pretty fast when i went there w him, and i think that kinda guttural (spelling is wrong, sorry) hhheh sound you guys sometimes make (like at the beginning of "goed", and the like) would translate to their guttural sounds well. might have slightly different tongue placement, esp for the "LL", but i actually think theyd mesh well.
@@IDontKnow-pf6en Aha, now this is gonna be interesting. Would you like to tell me more about how Dutch did sound to you prior to when your brain started to recognise words and sentence structure?
A good waulking song :) Tha mi ag ionnsachadh Gàidhlig agus tha an tidsear agam Gearmailteach. I'm learning Gaelic, and my teacher is a German (hope I got that last bit right, hehe).
I once watched an old documentary from the 1980s about the Celts. The Gaelic song at the end of one episode was much more mournful than this one. It was sung by Kathleen MacInnes. Not sure if it was the same Kathleen MacInnes, given how different these two tunes are...
EDIT: It was actually Kathleen MacDonald who sang the song from the 1980s series. I think she's from The MacDonald Sisters.
EDIT 2: A few years on and my Gaelic above is worthy of improvement 😂 The following would be better: "'S e neach-ionnsachaidh na Gàidhlig a th' annam, 's an tidsear agam às a' Ghearmailt."
I love the sound of the language 😍
I listen in France, love this song in language
I'm a native English speaker, but whenever I hear Gaelic, be it Irish or Gàidhlig, the Celt in me will show itself lol
I am an American who lives in the Southeastern U.S. We have a large population of people who are Scottish or Irish or Scotch-Irish. My ancestors came to America and we lost a great portion of our heritage. I am trying to recapture our shared culture, but damn is it hard.
I feel that. I live in the southeastern US as well, and my mothers side of the family is Irish. They came to America through Ellis island in the early 1900s, and while my family is fairly well off in that regard, due to the fact that some of the objects they brought with them are still in the family and my aunt knows a good deal about our family history, its still very difficult to recapture that culture once its been lost.
@@purpleoctopie7722 my issue is that I have a common Scottish name. Reid and Burns...
Do not equate the Scots Irish as being Irish, they are Scots who happend to live in Northern Ireland, they are Scots and never will be Irish. I think you Americans really need be educated on the facts. They lived in Northern Ireland then went to America. SAOR ALBA GU BRATH
I don't think anyone did sir. If you noticed the first statement I made a distinction between the Irish and the Scots and the Scotch-Irish.

A beautiful song and I don't understand a word of it. Just so beautiful to listen to.😁♥️
I'm not a Gaelic speaker at all, but learning to sing songs in Gaelic, yes!! I love this one, writing this down and practice z practice, practice.
I'm an Irish girl at birth. I was born in Galway and i have to say it really is a beautiful country. My whole family is airish but I don't think that many of them can speak fluently speak gaeilge. Now thinking about not many people actually know the language but of course there is reason behind it. There is one place in Ireland that I know of. In spidil most people that live there can speak Irish fluently. The Irish dancers and the highland dancers are also really good. I'm and Irish dancer and I absoultly love the music. It's nice and lively. Theres alot of scottish Irish dancers aswell. Theres also the shanoes dancers. You should really check out the traditional music, tiz good crack to mess around and dance to.
Please, make one with "Dh'èirich mi moch madainn cheòthar" by Julie Fowlis. Thanks... love all your videos!!😙❤
Yes! I love that song! I would love to know what it means.
Love this!! ❤🏴
such a beautiful language😍
Im Puerto Rican but..why do i seem to be genetically in love with sea shanties and scottish work songs 😭👌🏼
Update: guys..
i just found out im 5% irish/scottish😳👼🏻🙌🏼
cool u can be an honorary scot!
31%
I'm around 80% (give or take, probably less) Irish (I'm from America) and I want to go there SO BAD! Scotland is amazing too, i think that going there would be a magical experience.
Puerto Rican as well, and have some Irish ancestry. The history and culture of Scotland has always fascinated me. The Gaelic language and music are beautiful.
I'm of Puerto Rican descent too, but I've always been interested in Irish, Scottish, and British culture. I don't know if I have any Irish or British blood, but I haven't looked further into my ancestry than my great-grandparents, so it's possible. Most Puerto Ricans are descended from Spaniards and Spain is a close neighbor of Ireland and Britain, so their peoples could have done a lot of intermixing, especially in the time periods in which the population was so small that they had to look far away for spouses in order to avoid having to marry their cousins.
I am a Japanese who loves Celtic music, is this an Irish or Scottish?
200 Γ‐gtp Scottish!
It is Scottish, Thank for liking our music.
Easy way to tell at first glance are the fadas.
(Accents)
If they point to the right, (á) it’s Irish.
To the left (à) it’s Scottish’s
(In general)
most scottish people don’t speak Gaelic this is actually the first time i’ve ever heard a gaelic song lol
@@No-ls7gk it depends on where you live in Scotland
I wish I could both visit Ireland and Scotland, but also learn both versions of Gaelic
Love this, it' so earthy and alive.
