I’m originally Nigerian but live in Scotland presently. Came across this tune in the Netflix movie “Outlaw King.” I’m an avid reader of Scottish and Anglo-Saxon (British) history. This tune is really, really lovely. Gaelic music has been my thing even while I was in Nigeria. Anyone interested in teaching me more about Scotland and the music? I’d be glad.
Just to get you started, look up the following bands and peformers: Silly Wizard, Iona Fyfe, Skipinnish, Emily Smith, Andy M. Stewart, Aly Bain, Lori Watson, Julie Fowlis, Siobhan Miller, and Talisk.
My darling Phil and I heard Hannah sing this song in 2019 at Ullapool - the next year we were finally married at the Ceilidh Place after 30 years together - such a magic song and a magic place - Jan Munton.
In many ways, this lovely version of the song, is the essence of Scotland, heart breaking and beautiful. Those that have been here will know what I mean, friends that have yet to visit, will soon understand.
Lady Carolina Nairne composed this and other well known Scottish folk songs, such as "Will Ye No Come back Again?", in the late 18th century. Because of her times and station, she had them published using a man's name, and later, using initials only. Robert Burn's poems speak of Scotland with a sense of hope for the future and I love them, but Lady Nairne's songs resonate more with me somehow, as they speak of grief, loss, and what individual lives - and Scotland - might have been. God bless her.
I'm shockingly only just learning this history now. I'd honestly gladly donate to put a statue up of her beside Stirling's Burns statue as the nearest to where she was born.
Love her voice. But I am quite partial "tae" the version sung in more of a broad Scots dialect by the great Andy M Stewart (rest his soul) of Silly Wizard. I am a Black man raised in NYC who.proudly wears the MacDonald tartan. I can only imagine how my family "got" the name but the blood of Scotland still runs in my veins.
@@craiganderson3868 what about a statue for all the men who lost their lives at Stirling, to this melody, 500 years before Lady Nairn wrote the lyrics? That is heartbreaking long before the words.

My own believe is that inside all of us lays a tune, a certain song that comprises a major aspect of our life, or even an after-life. The bones of me rattle each time my ears bring this song in... my thanks to Ryan, and these musicians and recording house for this treasure ....
Utterly spellbinding interpretation - the world simply stops as you listen to this masterpiece......such grace and beauty in the singing and the arrangement....

Check out the version by the late Andy Stewart of Silly Wizard. Husband with not long to live singing to his wife. He's singing from the heart. Ironic also that the conversation beforehand was between Andy and Johnny Cunningham.
Andy M. Stewart's version is amazing. It is so authentic. I really like this version but I feel that it is too flawless and crafted. If feels as if Andy is singing it to Jean and the emotion comes through. In fact, I've never heard a Silly Wizard or Andy Stewart song that was covered better by someone else--and I'm a big fan of reinterpretations. He was a treasure.
@@MusicLoverInGA I love Andy M. Stewart's versions of this song, both solo and with Silly Wizard, but I really don't get your criticism about this being "too flawless and crafted". How is that not an apt description for Stewart's 1994 solo recording, which is impeccably produced? Exactly what are you referring to with that statement? Apart from that, Hannah Rarity's singing, is every bit as emotional as his.
@@Trunchisholm I love innovative covers of songs. I just relistened to this and as I said, I do like this version.I think what I like about Andy's version is that there seems to be more longing in it. I don't feel longing in this version as much as Andy's. Her voice is pure gold however, it is very beautiful. Andy's has more sonic variance in it than this one and has more emotional depth because of it. Of course this was his superpower. Perhaps his also comes with more experience and age. On his solo version go to minute 3 and listen to the longing and how he phrases each. So I will retract the 'too flawless and crafted' - around minute 4 of this song it is heavenly. But I still prefer Andy's version.
Absolutely beautiful, King Robert de Brus, earl of Carrick would be proud but still turning on his grave at Scotland's state of affairs regarding west minister 💔
This is truly beautiful. What is that flute like instrument called, does it have a specific name? The vocalist, violinist and piano player are wonderful, they are all wonderful.
This is a much better version than is at the end of The Outlaw King. An old poem sung to the even older tune of Hey Tutti Taiti. BTW this old Scots tune was played by Joan Of Arc's body guard when she marched into Orleans in 1429. Many of her army were Scottish fighting with the French against the English!
What is the metal recorder called, please? I play both soprano and alto recorder, and once saw a woman playing this instrument in a video.I have wanted to name and investigate this instrument for several years! Beautiful version of this song! I was introduced to this classic on the BBC's Little Women mini-series.
I know this is two months later, but that is called a Tin Whistle. It can come in many different keys, and is commonly used in Celtic Folk music. It is a very beautiful (and affordable) little instrument!
If this isn't played at my funeral, I'm not going.
Me neither!!
LIKEWISE 🤨
I concur.@@suzannenoa9736
Just simply beautiful.
Always touches the heart of this Scotsman.
Absolutely beautiful.
Sitting on a oil rig trying not to cry 😂😂 beautiful just beautiful
It must be lonely :(
Stunning, Hannah is up there with the great Scottish voices of all time.
Oh no, this beautiful girl and with the stunning voice has died?😔

stunningly beautiful version
First heard this song performed by Andy Stewart over 20 years ago, and it still brings a tear to my eye. Brilliant performance.
Beautiful, heard this at the second episode of the BBC's Little Women (2017)
Ditto; saw it last week for 1st time when a pbs station aired this ; at least a few episodes so far...so beautiful!
I heard it there, and had to find it. Lovely song, and a well-done take on Little Women.
Sang in true Scots. A beautiful arrangement Ryan. It’s sae fine it maks me greet.
In many ways, this lovely version of the song, is the essence of Scotland, heart breaking and beautiful. Those that have been here will know what I mean, friends that have yet to visit, will soon understand.
BEAUTIFUL arrangement! You made it your own. The emotion is POURING out of the vocalist. Bravo!
As Leal if find this song so beautiful. My beautiful heritage.
Beautiful, heard this at the end of Outlaw King and had to find it.
MegaChris wrong version. Kathryn Joseph sang the Outlaw King version. This is good. The other is incredible
@@truebornsonofliberty554 Yeah I found the other version after posting this comment, but it is still very well done.
Me too
Check out Silly Wizard’s live version of this
Me as well.

Because she speaks as woman. Men can take much from us but not motherhood or a mothers grief.

Yes. I've had mine sung to me, in a quiet room... this message was as arresting as the song! Merci infiniment!
Yessir
Thank you I agree there is a tune which we all have and it’s a tune that no one else will ever understand but it’s meaning to us.🏴❤️
A hypothetical land of happiness, loyalty, and virtue which dwells within the heart and mind...
"The Land O The Leal" where we Scot go (hopefully) when we die - The Land of The Trustworthy.
Stunning version, love it. Thank you.
If you don't feel this you can only be numb, how lovely
If a work of art - be it a small gem - can move you to tears, it can be surely be called 'great' and rightly so! Many thanks.
I want to go there...but not yet! Beautiful version of the song I first also heard Andy M Stewart sing many years ago. Beautiful!!!

What s braw Scottish song.I am so proud to be a Scot.
Yes, it's a proud and grand thing, to be of the Celt..
Can’t get over this version of this song. Beautiful!
I played it on my harp for my husbands funeral; he asked me to do it before he died.
Mine was the truest of the true, he’s waiting for me there.
This is sublime. What a great music and an amazing singer. Bravo!
Would bring tears from a stone -- beautiful rendition. Thank you very much for posting it.
This is just so beautiful!! I can't stop listen to this song.
The music touches my heart and soul deeply. Thank you so much for sharing it!
I must have listened to this at least twenty times today. Such a heartfelt interpretation and by far the best I've heard.
Look up UA-cam video Outlaw King Soundtrack land of the leal kathryn Joseph grey dogs and thank me later great version also the best in my opinion
