    Lyrics:
    Air sgiath a' seoladh nan neoil
    'S an domhain liath
    Mar dhealbh a' tighinn beo tro na sgothan
    'S mi a' tilleadh gu tir
    Alba nam beanntan ard
    Nan acraichean lom
    Thairis air na lochan mointich
    Nan coilltean 's nan gleann
    Ach 'se sealladh leointe is gann
    Tha an seo aig ceann thall an linn
    Talamh alainn nan daoine
    Fhathast an lamhan duine no dithis
    Cuibhlean stolda mu dheas
    Na fasaichean a tuath
    An taigh-mor falamh an Dun-Eideann
    Gun chumhachd gun ghuth
    *Sibhse chuir achadh ri achadh
    Taigh ri taigh
    Gus nach bi ait anns an tir
    An gabh sibh comhnaidh air leth
    Ach 's math dhomh bhith seo an drasd
    A cur failt air a' bhlas
    'San tir a tha cho you're dhomh an diugh
    Is a bha I nuair bha mi 'nam phaisd
    *Bho Isaiah 5-8
    Scotland
    This flight is sailing through the see
    Louds
    And the blue heavens
    The homeland appears like a developing photograph
    Through the mists as I return to land
    I see Scotland of the high mountains
    And the empty acres
    Flying low across the moorland lochs
    The forests and the glens
    But it's
    A wounding and a hollow sight
    Here as we reach the end of the century
    The beautiful soil of the people
    Still in the hands of the few
    I see the wheels of industry at a standstill
    And the northern lands wasted
    And the empty house in Edinburgh
    Withou
    T authority or voice
    You that have laid field upon field
    House upon house
    Till there be nowhere for you to be placed alone
    In the midst of all the earth
    But it is good for me to be here now
    As I welcome the warmth
    In this land that's as exciting
    For me today
    As it was the day I was born

    I came of age in the '80s and I always hated going out dancing back then because I thought I was terrible at it. Watching these old videos makes me realize I wasn't any worse than anybody else. I would have had a much better time in the clubs if I'd realized this back then.

    As an Englishman I haven’t a clue what he’s singing but I know Alba means Scotland and having lived in Scotland as an Englishman for 23yrs I can honestly say it’s a beautiful country worth singing about.

      The empty house mentioned and is being pointed to in the video is the old Royal High School, which was going to be where the reconvened Scottish Parliament was to be, but for the sneaky trick Labour pulled on our devolution.

    As much as I enjoy Runrig...it's the bad Chris De Burgh dad dancing of Donnie Munro that just gets you with this video!. I suspect as well this is where all the disaffected SNP supporters are going to defect to over the current mess...was thinking they'll need a new home...
