My ancestors were Irish. They fled Co. Fermanagh in 1840 for Australia. Even though I am 4th generation Australian, the old country is like a mother, calling me home. My heart and soul belong in Ireland.
I lived in Dublin for most of the 70’s. I married my husband because I loved him more than I loved Ireland, but it was a toss up. Nearly 50 years later, my heart still longs for Dublin. I wish I could have both.
I keep coming back to the old songs.. but if you live on another continent.. and cant afford to go back.. the emotion and memories will slowly kill you.. be careful
This video is good in so many ways, as it spotlights the Corries' special talents. First the pipes and Ronnie's wistful voice sets a melancholy mood that is reinforced by Roy's gentle echoes. Then, underscored by the guitars, the pace picks up and Roy's lyrical and lilting tone, joined by Ronnie's subtle harmony, warms the listener's heart. A breeze is blowing and all is well with the world.
This music breaks my heart. My ancestors were likely driven from their beloved country and settled in Nova Scotia. I hear the pain and the love for their dear country. Their voices harmonize to touch my soul. Cabbie from Boston
My grandad a Scottish immigrant to South Africa introduced me to the corries when I was very young playing many of their songs himself on the guitar this brought back so many memories
scotland is everything. scotland is all It is all we believe in.Scotlands is the land of all the people, from all over the world, who still believe in Honour, glory, humanity, tradition, joy of music, poetry, romanticism, true love. Scotland is Scotland. The finest land in the world along with Tuscany (not Italy). Scotland is what I miss everyday when Iam not there, in Islay or Inverness or Kyle of Lochalsh or Portree or Ballater or wherever. Scotland is where all the pure hearts belong.
Pease tell this truth to today's neo-Marxist Scottish so-called "poets" who look to Paris and Moscow for their socialist utopias and who generally believe that Scotland is just another "systemically racist" society that needs vanish into the European Union.
Played for our Regiment by the Scots Guards as we passed through Edinburgh towards home in Canada after our deployment in the Golan Heights. Still touching.

What a great pair of folk singers must the best that has came out of Scotland to hear them live singing there songs was a great pleasure for me and all that heard them thank you to the CORRIES
As a supporter of independence I would like to see a Scotland that is welcoming and tolerant of all who live here .It is time to put the past away and look to the here and now and to the future .
I'm completely English and grew up as a fat little kid with an English accent just North of Glasgow: it didn't make me popular, but it taught me me never to judge people on anything but their capacity for compassion. I also absorbed a love of language, an anarchic passion for life, a sense of social justice and - possibly - a certain sentimentalism. I should probably judge all places equally, but Scotland will always be deep in my soul and the source of much of the best in me. I grew up listening to The Corries and all I have to say is; "Don't be Scunners" ;-)
i m English with a scottish aunt in dundee , i must admit my love and bond for the scots has been tarnished by the west lothian question and devolution , my heart loves the scots ,we have more in common and have on balance been a joint force for good , my head can t get scottish independance quick enough to free my beloved England from the scottish fascist nazi SNP out of our domestic politics
@@stevenupton7825 There is nothing fascist or Nazi about the SNP they are not an authentic nationalist party rather a marxist globalist party (You have a long way to go to understanding this world). You are right to view the Scots as kindred folk as for all the native peoples of the British Isles are all essentially one extended family.
Charlie didnt crack. It was, as usual, a squabble among the Chieftain's at Derby! Charlie wanted to keep going, they said no and went up to Culloden. Where once again, another squabble over who would get the side of honor in the rank's which ruined any advantage to be had. This is why those men stood there for an hour until one of the Chieftain's officer's had had enough and charged. And I'm positive Charlie was forced to leave by his loyal staff.
There are plenty of musicians still playing this type of music (myself included). Please try and get your local publicans to book more of this style - there are enough places catering to the BS music that seems to be in vogue nowadays.
that's great news to me....I hope this music never dies out....I just made a comment here that I was hoping that a couple of talented young guys in Scotland who can sing well, and play guitar, could learn all the old Corries songs, and play them...... to keep it alive....
Matthew Widdowson You mean the Duke of Bavaria? From what I've heard he's not a bad guy, but I don't know him all that well, so I can't say I necessarily respect him massively, although of course I wish him good health seeing as he seems like a fairly decent human being.
Francis II. When his nephew, Joseph, becomes king, he will be the first legitimate king of England and Scotland born in England or Scotland since James III. Hopefully, Scotland will be free of England when he is crowned on the Stone of Destiny. God Save the King Over the Water.
I was a proud Scot prior to finding the Corries , iam no less proud , but alot better informed , these are history lessons we never got at school. Sadly missed and as yet their place in musical story telling has still to be filled. Prosperity to Scotland and No Union.
And your dear land too. The blood is strong. That same blood that was spilled on the battlefields of the world runs deep in your veins. Alba gu brath. If you seek it, drink of the music. Find it in the Gaelic language.
some pride in heritage and some true and sensible nationalism and just mebbe the world would be a better place these days honour codes and national pride here seem to be seen as sentimental weakness sorry I was raised to believe never do a dishonest thing never hurt a woman or child and never disrespect an enemy pity many today have forgotten that simple creed we are not what once we were
This is a song about love, pure, true and sublime love, about Scottish men's love to prionnsa Teàrlach who was one of the noblest and most loyal people in the whole world, so how dare someone not to follow Teàrlach's example? And I myself would follow him and fight for that fair and free land called Alba. God save the Prince!
came before us, because they are not our achievements, and neither do I believe we are responsible for any wrong-doings of those who came before us. That does not mean wrong-doings should not be put right, but blame should not be apportioned where blame does not belong. I do not believe that the sins of the father are passed on. Guilt is not inheritable. Therefore I think it rather pointless to blame descendants of wrong-doers for the actions of their ancestors. Not to mention the fact that we
I agree with a (Multi-Party) system. But the country need's some of the colorfulness a house of royal's can provide. A cultural figurehead! ...As for Charlie, he tried to get back, he begged for finances to get the men and guns to return. And he couldnt have been so bad if Lochiel liked him!
Not only that, but many dreadful things done to Scots in Scotland were in fact perpetrated by fellow Scots. The massacre at Glencoe was carried out by Scottish troops, the Killing Times were mostly carried out by Scottish troops & don't presume the Highland clansmen weren't averse to commit the ocassional war crime either. There were Scots on both sides at Culloden. Many of the landlords responsible for the Clearances were in fact Scots. People use the English as a scapegoat far too often.
If it wasn't for the Anglo Saxons say for example Edinburgh would not be called Edinburgh, because there would be no Scots language. All have their part to play on the stage that is life. Hatred will get us nowhere. I say this as somebody who is proud to be Scottish & I want all Scots to be proud Scots. But I do not want hatred to fill our hearts & corrupt our souls.
The Queen has Stewart blood in her in direct line from James Vl of Scotland. This mean's Harry or Willy could reinstate the Stewart House! We may have two new Charlie's!! May god guide them to the true path of the holy Jacobite cause!
I used to know about the highland clearances, dreadful as they were but... I came to Australia 20 years ago and soon found out that some of our forebears driven from their homes, came here and behaved at times worse than the English troops of yore with the indigenous nations.

Scotland and me ? Love at first sight, love forever.
Yes , I do too, always have. My people have been gone from there for over a century, but still I am drawn there.
This is making me so homesick. I need a wee holiday.
Really love this. Beautiful.

Never discredited. Nothing more disgraceful and deplorable than the usurpation of the throne of a Catholic king, by Divine Right, by a heretic.
