I am from Newton Stewart and this song brings back memories of the Galloway Pageant. I now live in Edinburgh but my heart will always be in Wigtownshire, Eddie Thorn
My Grandparents came from Newton Stewart although they had moved to Glasgow before I was born. I spent a month at Galloway House residential school where we went walks along the beach collecting razor clam shells and we used to go to Newton Stewart for the "tuck shop". We were taught this song and it has always stayed with me
Jim mcqueen think the tuck shop may have been simpsons shop on the Cree bridge the olde toll house we are now the current owners of this building as our holiday home you are right Galloway is a truly beautiful place
I couldn't find the lyrics forever but I found them. Here they are: Wha but lo'es the bonnie hills, Wha but lo'es the shinin' rills; Aye for thee my bosom fills? Bonnie Gallowa'. Land o' darkly-rollin' Dee, Land o' silvery windin' Cree, Kiss'd by Solway's foamy sea? Bonnie Gallowa'. Wreathes o' glory roun' thee weave, Gory land o' fearless Thrieve, Heroes' deeds your sons achieve? Bonnie Gallowa'. Ance ye had a king your ain, Wha your laurels ne'er wad stain, Focht your foes wi' micht an' main? Bonnie Gallowa'. Wha 'mang Scotia's chiefs can shine? Heroes o' the Douglas line, Maxwells, Gordons, a' are thine? Bonnie Gallowa'. Land o' birk and rowan tree, Land o' fell and forest free, Land that's aye sae dear to me? Bonnie Gallowa'.
I'm not from Galloway,but Hilton in Easter Ross long long ago,but from the depths of my heart ,what a bonnie bonnie song . Well done poster , she's a beauty Albainn gu Brath
Love Galloway and the Corries ❤❤❤

Whithorn, London, same.
Wonderful lads, I saw you in Stranraer in 1969, loved meeting you. I will always love you 😍
Such a lovely song, makes me want to visit the area and me a Londoner,
Gosh can't remember when I last heard that song. Nice one cheers 🥂
You are wonderful Galloway is beatiful ❤
Brilliant sung with love 💘
Great song - especially for a born and bred Gallovidian! Used to go to all the Corries concerts in the City Halls in Glasgow and BBC studios.
Grew up in Galloway, my parents and a large part of my family still live there. Roll on!

Sepia, good work, however the third line of each verse does not need a question mark; none of them are questions. X
