"Bonny Portmore" is an Irish traditional folk song which laments the demise of Ireland's old oak forests, specifically The Great Oak of Portmore, which fell in a windstorm in 1760 and was subsequently used for shipbuilding and other purposes.
I love the Loreena McKennitt. She has the voice of an angel. This music brings my Scottish ancestral blood alive. Makes me proud to know my family originated from such a wonderful country.
Great valleys, high mountains, snow fallin', old castles, just you, the nature and this music... can anyone describe the feeling inside? I think it's impossible.
I love all the Highlander films & Series I grew up with them this song gives me the goose bumps & take me to another world where true immortality for all good is what heaven is...thank you for loading this :)
Bonny Portmore is an old traditional Irish song. I don't think Loreena McKennitt wrote any of it and the line about the Lords of old England is definitely much older than her version. Portmore castle and the surrounding oaks/forest were all destroyed by the mid 1700s. No matter who wrote it though, noone sings it better than Loreena imo:) Just beautiful
The series and the movies have very beautiful songs in them this one along with who wants to live forever are my two favorites great music and great movies go together
I remmember watching highlander with my wife we loved it .As my wife was 25 years older than me. I was 21 back then a toy boy lol i used joke at the seen were his first wife looked older than him in end .But since my wife died five years ago that seen just makes me cry cus i miss her so much but it makes smile to as it brings back so maney loveing memories of her and just love the songs in the movie
This is the secondary theme anyway. Princes of the Universe by Queen is the main theme of Highlander, of course. Highlander 3 was the first time we heard this theme in the series. The episode Homeland was the second, Dramatic License was the third, Not To Be was the fourth, Endgame was the fift.
Me re.....encanta esta musica y letra.hace que mi corazón quede en total tranquilidad y hace que este rodeado de una linda. Naturaleza.Donde no existe malos recuerdos. Ni maldad y nada maetrial.Solo el amor de una naturaleza olvidada. Por. El hombre.
SHE IS CANADIAN ! C'EST UNE CANADIENNE. SA VOIX EST AUSSI BELLE EN SPECTACLE SINON PLUS QUE L'ENREGISTREMENT. I HAVE SEEN HER SHOW AND SHE HAS A BEAUTIFUL VOICE AND SOUNDS AS GOOD AND EVEN BETTER. SHE APPEARS LIKE AN ANGEL AND AS SHE CHANGES FROM AN INSTUMENT TO ANOTHER SHE SPEAKS TO US, TELLING THE TAIL OF THE NEXT SONG. I GOT OUT OF THERE COMPLETELY TRANSFORMED. ELLE A LA VOIX D'UN ANGE !
It's Loreena McKennit and the song is called Bonny Portmore. It's based on and old Irish Folksong about when the English cut down the forests on Ireland to build ships for their fleet. This part of the lyrics is particularly sad: "All the Birds in the forest they bitterly weep Saying "where shall we shelter or where shall we sleep?" For the Oak and the Ash they all cutten down And the walls of Bonny Portmore are all down to the ground."
Even though I barely qualify as an amateur with the bokken (practice katana, Cold Steel, red oak, and white oak, Cold Steel is the best but I digress), Christopher did an AMAZING job, considering he has some minor sight problems. He will ALWAYS be "The One"
O bonny Portmore, I am sorry to see Such a woeful destruction of your ornament tree For it stood on your shore for many's the long day Till the long boats from Antrim came to float it away. O bonny Portmore, you shine where you stand And the more I think on you the more I think long If I had you now as I had once before All the lords in Old England would not purchase Portmore. All the birds in the forest they bitterly weep Saying, "Where will we shelter or shall we sleep?" For the Oak and the Ash, they are all cutten down And the walls of bonny Portmore are all down to the ground. O bonny Portmore, you shine where you stand And the more I think on you the more I think long If I had you now as I had once before All the Lords of Old England would not purchase Portmore.
I consider this one to be a prequel to the 1st one (and I don't even consider Endgame or the series to canon, or if I do I write it off as DUncan dying in Endgame and Connor finally getting peace with his adopted son and wife)

A pure yet sorrowful song about the loss of something truly beautiful.
il n'y a pas de plus belle chanson au monde. il n'y a pas non plus de plus beau paysage au monde. l'écosse, diamant incomparable. aucun pays n'est plus beau que l'écosse.
THANK YOU! Highlander Endgame doesn't exist in my mind. It's Highlander 1 and 3, and with some tweaking 3 could be considered a prequel as he was supposed to have won the game. Another route (in my mind) is that Duncan did indeed exist, but it was either 1) Connor took his head, instead going all emo or 2) they took down that asshole together and said "Fuck this game, fuck the prize, and fuck all y'all" Connor was a much better swordsman and WAY more powerful than Duncan.

Thank you! Didn't know the name of the song😊
A "windstorm"
It would be nice if you would stop rewriting our history.
Don't believe everything on the internets.
Yes gorgeous, 💖💕
it makes me think about my lost love
A voice that can bring tears to your eyes.
I love the Loreena McKennitt. She has the voice of an angel. This music brings my Scottish ancestral blood alive. Makes me proud to know my family originated from such a wonderful country.
❤❤❤
Great valleys, high mountains, snow fallin', old castles, just you, the nature and this music... can anyone describe the feeling inside? I think it's impossible.
This scene with this music makes my soul feel something i can't explain in words but it's wonderful....
I just can't say what I feel when I listen to this song and see these images from the movie. They're really masterpieces.
Concordo com vc,sinto muita saudade, a do Queen tbm é fantástica.
Love this song, highlander is amazing
yes so brilliant,
слушаю волынку, смотрю горы, земли шотландии....мурашки по коже.....бля от куда такая тяга......не был там ни разу....а тянет как домой....реально
Past life 😊

Even though I barely qualify as an amateur with the bokken (practice katana, Cold Steel, red oak, and white oak, Cold Steel is the best but I digress), Christopher did an AMAZING job, considering he has some minor sight problems.
He will ALWAYS be "The One"
For the Warriors. The Battle begins.
Por fin encontraste lo que buscabas Conmer !
O bonny Portmore, I am sorry to see
Such a woeful destruction of your ornament tree
For it stood on your shore for many's the long day
Till the long boats from Antrim came to float it away.
O bonny Portmore, you shine where you stand
And the more I think on you the more I think long
If I had you now as I had once before
All the lords in Old England would not purchase Portmore.
All the birds in the forest they bitterly weep
Saying, "Where will we shelter or shall we sleep?"
For the Oak and the Ash, they are all cutten down
And the walls of bonny Portmore are all down to the ground.
O bonny Portmore, you shine where you stand
And the more I think on you the more I think long
If I had you now as I had once before
All the Lords of Old England would not purchase Portmore.
what a fabulous voice wow
Perfection ❤
Perfeita.
This song pronounce the same feeling as "Braveheart" and "Lord of The Rings"
I consider this one to be a prequel to the 1st one (and I don't even consider Endgame or the series to canon, or if I do I write it off as DUncan dying in Endgame and Connor finally getting peace with his adopted son and wife)
Lugar mais lindo não existe. Portmore
Excellent comments! Indeed a well written song
diese music ist perfect
Very beautiful!

Loreena rocks!
Voilà ce que j'appelle une belle voix !
Just a correction. It's not End Game it was Highlander 3 The Final Dimension. End Game was the first movie based on the series.
THANK YOU! Highlander Endgame doesn't exist in my mind. It's Highlander 1 and 3, and with some tweaking 3 could be considered a prequel as he was supposed to have won the game.
Another route (in my mind) is that Duncan did indeed exist, but it was either 1) Connor took his head, instead going all emo or 2) they took down that asshole together and said "Fuck this game, fuck the prize, and fuck all y'all" Connor was a much better swordsman and WAY more powerful than Duncan.
The beginning reminded me of braveheart. Anyone else?
Superbe musique, superbes images, superbe histoire, dommage que l'acteur principal soit si mauvais...
zajefajne !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!super !!!!! jestem w niebie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I just like to pretend the whole movie didn`t happen, even though i`m a Duncan fan...*dodges the flying tomatoes*
nice music
lol made my day
Es hermoso, wow

On se laisse transporter dans des songes /la vie!!!
J' aime l' écosse et l' irlande ainsi que leurs musiques -
