Very spiritual lament.Performed with genuine engagement , against a beautiful and somehow fitting backdrop. A true wandering minstrel. Bless you and Scotland !
I can't believe I missed you in Vancouver when you were here last October. I only just discovered you through a random spotify suggestion. I will definitely be at your next show here in BC. If you do Dark Lochnagar or Wild Rover I'll be in the front row singing along. My dad told me "son, we're Duff men, we can sing very passionately, and very loud, we just cannot sing very well". But I'll try. I honestly never knew soneone was out there playing this stuff. I've only ever heard The Corries version of this tune. I've been obsessed with them my whole life, but the only people I've met that have even heard of The Corries were from Scotland and living in Canada, like my dad. I would love to hear you do some old Canadian songs. Peter Emberley? The Wakami Wailers do a great version of that tune. The Jam on Garry's Rock? How We Got Up To The Woods Last Year is another good one.
It translates roughly to mean "skipping on the lovely hills". "Knowe" basically means a small hil/knoll. Also "yowes" means sheep, specifically female sheep which are called ewes in English. So basically she was watching her herds of sheep skip across the hills.

Lovely Sam❤
You've inspired me to pick my guitar back up thank you

Wow, how’d you learn this on banjo? 🤩
The banjo can't be a purely Scottish traditional instrument
Not that it matters
