- The Dark Island. (written by Iain MacLaughlan) Is a famous Scottish accordion tune
Played by Charlie Abel. This track is from the album "A Celtic Voice."
released on 30th November 2018.
Benbecula is the Island in question.
In 2018 we took a last minute decision to go camping in North Uist in July 2018. It's an island to the north of Benbecula joined by road.
We took the decision based on the weather forecast. According to the MET office, the only sunny place in Scotland where no rain was forecast was Uist. So we made the 7 hours drive from Aberdeen to get there hoping for some sunny summer days.
They were wrong. It rained every day.
It didn't stop us enjoying the islands of North Uist, Benbecula South Uist and Eriskay.
If God has a holiday home, it will be in the Hebrides.
There are very few people there and pretty much hardly any tourists.
You might be advised to cook your own food and go prepared as we did. The few shops and restaurants you find seem to stop serving at 7 pm.
I love places like this. Places with few people. So peaceful.
During our camping trip, I took all the photos used in this video. There's no photoshop used on any of them. The colours and beauty are all natural.

Hi folks. This track appears on the album "A Celtic Voice". There are digital download links and CD's available on my website charlieabel.com/home/record-archive/a-celtic-voice/
Lovely version slow swing
Beautiful and so is the video
Ah, the classic radio thriller "The Dark Island", Robert Barr's, 'Jim Nicholson & Grant'. Espionage in the Outer Hebredies.
A visit to 'Benbecula' and the Outer Isles is on the 'bucket list'!
Just fabulous thank you.
Amazing, minds me of my Dad. Thanks
Really nice version of a popular tune
Gorgeous photos and beautifully played too, I loved this.
Thanks 😊
Very beautiful version of my favourite ❤great video…
Thank you very much!😊
Hi Charlie, This was one of the tunes I had played by a piper at my mother's funeral in January of this year.
Sorry for your loss John. Thanks for the comment.
@@CharlieAbel Thanks very much Charlie, much appreciated!
Love it! Well done!
Thank you! Cheers!👍
😍😍😍😍😍😍
Nice version and beautiful video. D.Island/Dr Mackay's Farewell to Creagorry has been recorded countless times all over the world, but you add your own stamp.
Hi Alan, are you related to Stewart Ross?
@@CharlieAbel Indeed, hence my interest in the 'Dark Island'.. as I have a connection to the cursed lyrical versions. As a tune, I check out hundreds of versions from worldwide countries (mostly in case they have my father's words), so it's always nice to hear someone add something to it with their own inflections. A lovely video as well going with the atmosphere of the piece.
