The feeling of being Scottish is like no other! For such a small nation we have the biggest heart and passion of any country on gods earth by far 🙏🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴
As an Englishman I'm stunned by the songs the Celtic language countries can produce that arouse such emotion ; I've seen Runrig 3 times and they always left me in such a high!
I think - when you identify as a englishman - you have to remember all the influence the "Britishman" has gone through, From being a french from Normandy, thus being a norman from Denmark. Long live the Scotch and the Irish ;-)
A Scot here - You are so lucky i would love to see them live! 😊 I agree their songs do leave you in such a high. I love driving along the East Coast of Scotland past the stunning beaches and scenery, listening to this song on full blast.
you do know the celts was spread out among the whole british isles pretty much, there was many celtish tribes in england, the scots were more pics than celts
Really wish I'd been there ... You've never lived til youve been at a wedding or a boozer where they play this at the end of the night.! Oh to be surrounded by a sea of drunken, euphoric Scotsmen and women when that tune's belting oot!!!
Can an Old Danish guy of 73 join ? if so, when is the next airplane ..and where´s my passport and creditcard ? 😂 ohh, almost forgot to say..I am a heavy beer-drinker..so I guess I´ll fit in...OK ? 😄
I was at this concert and here I am living in the USA for the last 36 years and still missing Scotland … this version of Loch Lomond makes me so homesick. What a classic ! Happy 2023
Ilve in the Midlands and they performed at derby to a small playhouse we were lucky to get 4tickets and I was enthralled at the songs and the musical .I was enthralled at the my reaction from the second the first note leading to the rest of my life true fan.
I've lived in the USA all my 70 years, have known I have Scottish heritage (Maclachlan) for about 60 of those years, have never been to your fair land, but I always get tears when I hear this!
Aye, I totally agree with you miss. I am from India, doing my Masters from the Uni of Glasgow. The Scottish people are among-st the friendliest I have ever come across. At times I wonder if was born in the wrong country...
I live about 5 mins from the loch and 20 mins and balloch and i could hear this from my bedroom. Would have been amazing to have been there but standing in the garden listening to the melody floating across the countryside was good enough for me!
Recently took my daughter up for a short hol up in Invernesshire from north England, put on 'Made In Scotland' soundtrack and this comes on as we're driving beside Loch Lomond! Hair raising
Respect To Scotland 🏴 Wherever You Are. I lived and worked in Scotland for over 11 years, you're in my heart you're in my soul..... Tuned In From Liverpool Merseyside U.K 💪🎙💪🎙💪💃
@@daviemcf Indeed! My great grandparents are from County Mayo in Ireland. I am from Dunfermline, ancient capital of Scotland and resting place of King Robert the Bruce and Sir William Wallace’s mum. I love Irish people and the Irish dancing, and of course the above band…Runrig. I play their records in the car while passing through the countryside and it’s beautiful beaches in the East coast of Scotland.
As a Scot, this fills me with such pride! No party is really over until this is sung with the birthday person, happy couple etc in the middle of a large circle 💙💙
My father was born in Glasgow and moved to Australia. Whenever we have visitors up or he had the cd player on its always runrig live and Loch Lomond comes on he would put it up on full volume he loved that song. This song always reminded me of him growing up in Scotland.
Here in Germany just now for Scotland's games in Euro '24, was in Munich last week Cologne this week and tomorrow onwards to Stuttgart. Mon ih Scotland 🏴
There's lots of great scottish songs eg The dark island....Will ye go lassie go....My love is like a red red rose....Piper to the end. ( Mark Knopfler)
Learned on a loch lomond cruise that the line "you take the high road and ill take the low road and ill be in scotland before ye" refers to the Scottish folklore that when a Scottish person dies in another country the fairy's bring them back to Scotland before they ascend to heaven. This is known as the low road ❤️
It is the Fae, the folk under the hill, that bring you back, they are like the Elves of Lord of the Rings more than fairys. And more specifically this song is meant to be about two highlanders fighting in the Jacobite cause who were captured and imprisoned in England. One is to be set free and he will take the high road of this world back home. The other is to be executed so he will fly home by the low road of death but will never meet his true love again kn this life.
I’ve heard this song so many times considering i’m from Scotland and it’s one of my favourite songs, but I’ve never heard this live version until now and my god Donnie’s voice is amazing and so powerful ❤️🥹
I live within 20 minutes drive from Loch Lomond and I never tire of its beauty especially when viewed from the top of the hill of the road leading from Gareloch over to Loch Lomond. Runrig are a marvellous advertisement for Scotland
I'm 64 now and living in England but l will go home before I die, l only want to be home in my own country before I go, l miss it more than I can express 😢
i lived in scotland for a fair few years, not far from balloch, this song is awesome, love it and runrig, i miss scotland so much, beautiful country and people
I feel this song in my soul. I'm so glad I had the chance to see Loch Lomond and Scotland, the home of my grandfather's ancestors. Scotland has to be the most beautiful place on earth if you ask me.
i could not agree more although In was born in Central England I made a promise to my dad who came from Dundee that I would someday move north well here I am in Caithness and we love it saw the Stirling Concert when Donnie quit amazing band and they still are
I was born in Glasgow Scotland live in Greenock down the coast visit and camp loch Lomond regularly it's the most stunning place I've ever been I'll die here aswell never left Scotland 🏴 don't have to I even holiday here it's the most beautiful country to be in 🏴
There will never be a band which commands such love, loyalty and respect, and such bloody fantastic music as these guys; at least not in my lifetime!!!
I've always loved this even though i'm not Scotish ! One of my bestest Friends who very sadly passed away a couple of years back introduced me to RunRig, It always reminds me of the one & only Fruit Bat aka Chris Townsend ! Miss you my friend RIP !
One of my most favourite songs of all time. My mom's name was Bonny she died in 2007 at just 50 years old. Although my family left Scotland centuries ago this song makes me feel closer to my family and my heritage.
This is my country, The land that begat me. These windy spaces Are surely my own. And those who here toil In the sweat of their faces Are flesh of my flesh, And bone of my bone
Last year my wife and I went on a Globus coach tour of Scotland and we both loved the country and its history. Scotland and Loch Lomond made a deep impact on me and while searching for the latter on iTunes I found Runrig. I too have the same feelings and reactions as THeGC1888 has every time I play it. Runrig is a great band and there presentation of Loch Lomond along with the audience's participation is for me deeply moving. Loch Lomond is really more a revered anthem of Scotland and should never be trivialised as simply a song.
Proud To Be Scottish 🏴🏴🏴 No Matter Who Is Singing ! Runrig Are Nrly All Scots ! This Gets Played Every New Year, Parties, Weddings & Funerals Yeah Funerals!!
We met this amazingly nice and immensely talented individual ( Donnie Munro) at my sons cafe in Glasgows west end, North Star in Queen Margarets drive years ago. I will never forget it. He was a diamond. X
My wife and i were at the concert,best ever,electric,pure magic,at the end of the concert they had to use the helicopter search lights to light up the road out,every time i looked up at the helicopter i fell back doon the hill. Aye pissed and high on there music.❤😂 .
I hope you Have heard the one about Ireland they did. Brings me to tears every time. “Eirinn” it’s called. Some fabulous lines. “What make me walk through Ireland shrines and Irelands holy shores …….. …. There’s something here, that draws me near, to wear, the green for you”
We had this at our wedding at Duck Bay marina in 2018.. My wife being from Glasgow and me from Sheffield I'm an adopted Scot.. Alway get this put on when I'm out.. Its amazing how many people enjoy this song for the first time...
Wow this brings back the memories! I was at this gig and what a fantastic day it was. The sun was shining, the beer flowing and the music during the whole day was just great.
My Primary school teacher talked the class through the story of the song and we performed it in the school concert some 60 years ago. I've always loved the song, but this is by far the best version i have ever heard. Superb stuff RIP Donnie!!!
I only found this group a few months ago and I so feel like I could have enjoyed them all my life. But thank God, I found them at 76 years old. I listen all the time and have every song available in my playlist now. 🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴
The first time I heard this, I was in the Bettyhill Hotel Pub, in 2000, an American tourist looking for herself and making new friends. I was so moved I began to weep and had to go outside to heather and hill to compose myself. The way Runrig performs it is an amazing, moving anthem! I love it! Goosebumps and tears, indeed!! Thank you, Lads!!!
I know exactly what you mean. Well I've never been an American tourist but I fell in love in Scotland with Runrig as the background. Isle of Skye festival in that glorious summer 1986. What a life! We were at Loch Lomond for this show. We went home by boat across the Loch.
my mom heard runrig a lot when i grew up and it was funny to recognize that my Club anthem is based on her favourite song Loch Lomond, was fun to meet some New people and greetings from germany Cologne ❤🍻 Scotland and everyone else🙌
I was driving a german highway yesterday at the dusk and was thinking about the shitty day I had at work. Then this song came on the radio. First I thought what kind of a song is this, the singers voice sounded so odd to me. I couldn‘t really understand most of the lyrics. But the more I listened, the better I liked it. Scotland must be a beautiful land. Would love to visit. ❤
I'm Irish and proud but this song gives me goosebumps and hairs stand on the back of my neck I feel patriotic towards Scotland,I've Scottish ancestry in my family tree somewhere this is also an Irish song called red are the roses
I am also Irish with some Scottish ancestory and we all used to sing Loch Lomond. Then Tommy Makem and the Clancy Bros changed the actual words to "Red is the Rose" I am nearly certain that it was actually Tommy Makem. who took the melody and put his own words to it and called it "Red is the Rose" . On saying it might have been Liam Clancy but I do remember Tommy Makem talking about Loch Lomond and explaining what they did. I think all these people have passed on. They were a great folk group.
It was a glorious day and evening, worth the trip, and great that there were so many other nationalities, i stayed in Renton next to Balloch the night before and after the concert, was a fantastic weekend,
they used ti play this in a wee bar i used to frequent back in the 90s was the last song every closing time,had the place jumpin everyone singin along was fkn brill
Spine tingling to a Canadian who was born of Scottish parents right after they immigrated to Canada. First heard this version whilst living in Saudi Arabia where 125 Scot Expats gathered in a compound to Out sing they bastard English ( for the game they were) in the Euro 2000 playoff Done it over both legs 125 Scots 3 Irish burds and a Canuck outsinging the English and their Vindaloo song we were belting out to this. Great tune.
Danced to this many a time in london after moving there for work in the late 80s/early 90s. Had all their early albums in plymouth as was into celtic/folky influenced music..Got to say that of all the many dance folk/rock/whatever type bands i have experienced live in my 69 years i have never danced as much as i did to these guys. Calum macdonald was a fantastic songwriter and musical genius. The gaelic lyrics were unsurprisingly over my head but boy could he pen a tune that could lift the soul or have you madly jigging around with a massive grin on your face. Sad its all over for them now, and me too with jigging around anymore, as time moves on but those live runrig musical memories will never leave me.
Ich habe die Band ein paar Mal gesehen, darunter auch in Freiburg in den 90er Jahren und vor ein paar Jahr auch hier in der Messehalle und es war immer wie ein Besuch in Schottland. Traditionelle Rhytmen mit tollem Chorgesang und einem Publikum, dass immer begeistert mit gegangen ist und mit einem echten Glücksgefühl aus den Konzerten ging. Die letzte Blu-ray von ihnen zum Abschied war ein grandioses Abschiedskonzert und hinterließ ein Gefühl von echtem Wehmut!
I love this song so much. This is the song that introduced me to my years long obsession with Runrig. I haven't heard this song in a while because I kinda of fell off the wagon a bit years ago, but now I'm jumping back in because it's just that good. And now I'm cringing because I was new to the internet when I on the Runrig fan forums and I was not shy about my thirst. Ugh, someone should really have taken the keyboard away from me, and I was about thirty years late to the party! 🤣
It’s time to be independent Scotland - take your rightful place among the nations of the world. Cross of St. Andrew flying proudly in NYC outside the UN. Scotland with their own voice in the World!
There are Good & Bad in every country of this world & the many others that must exist in this Universe. I absolutely adore Scotland, it's Traditions,Languages, favourite tipple (and that's not a famous fortified wine :) ) and most importantly the wonderful People that are so welcoming. I love Scotland & I know I was born elsewhere but have scot ancestry. I travel but everytime I come back to Scotland ...I'm truly Home
I am a Scot. I speak from the heart. I drink my whisky from a Quaich I wear my clan tartan with an arrogant pride I fight back tears at the skirl of the pipe and drum I will walk once again in the land of my ancestors and know that I am home.
This brings back so many memories. Thank you for the upload. I was too young to go to this but I remember the atmosphere about the place as I lived in Alexandria at the time 💖
runrig song the bonny banks off loch lomond i was in tully chewin caravan park in 1990 and the feel about the place is marverlouse and rest in peace bruce may your spirits remain with the group forever
My mom, dad, aunt and uncle were in that audience!! I wish i was born then so i could have heard that live! This song makes me very proud to be Scottish! Best song in the world!!
Love Runrig and Scotland and an English man to boot. Such passion unrivalled in my opinion.

One of my most favourite songs of all time. My mom's name was Bonny she died in 2007 at just 50 years old. Although my family left Scotland centuries ago this song makes me feel closer to my family and my heritage.
Sorry for your loss. 🏴
@@kirkdandie thank you
This is my country,
The land that begat me.
These windy spaces
Are surely my own.
And those who here toil
In the sweat of their faces
Are flesh of my flesh,
And bone of my bone
Last year my wife and I went on a Globus coach tour of Scotland and we both loved the country and its history. Scotland and Loch Lomond made a deep impact on me and while searching for the latter on iTunes I found Runrig. I too have the same feelings and reactions as THeGC1888 has every time I play it. Runrig is a great band and there presentation of Loch Lomond along with the audience's participation
is for me deeply moving. Loch Lomond is really more a revered anthem of Scotland and should never be trivialised as simply a song.
Proud To Be Scottish 🏴🏴🏴 No Matter Who Is Singing ! Runrig Are Nrly All Scots ! This Gets Played Every New Year, Parties, Weddings & Funerals Yeah Funerals!!
We met this amazingly nice and immensely talented individual ( Donnie Munro) at my sons cafe in Glasgows west end, North Star in Queen Margarets drive years ago. I will never forget it. He was a diamond. X
My wife and i were at the concert,best ever,electric,pure magic,at the end of the concert they had to use the helicopter search lights to light up the road out,every time i looked up at the helicopter i fell back doon the hill. Aye pissed and high on there music.❤😂
.
I'm Irish and always loved this song. My late mother used to sing this to us as children. What a spine tingling version. Eire agus Albain go brach.
gu dearbh
I hope you Have heard the one about Ireland they did. Brings me to tears every time.
“Eirinn” it’s called. Some fabulous lines.
“What make me walk through Ireland shrines and Irelands holy shores ……..
…. There’s something here, that draws me near, to wear, the green for you”
more of a folk purist here but.....my goodness how can you not love this, such beautifull vocals, such togetherness with the crowd just wow!!
We had this at our wedding at Duck Bay marina in 2018.. My wife being from Glasgow and me from Sheffield I'm an adopted Scot.. Alway get this put on when I'm out.. Its amazing how many people enjoy this song for the first time...
Being a Scot living in New Zealand this is fantastic to hear. Thank you.
Taylor christiansen New Zealand put's me in mind of Calender in Perthshire beautiful 🌷
long way from the rain lol
Wow this brings back the memories! I was at this gig and what a fantastic day it was. The sun was shining, the beer flowing and the music during the whole day was just great.
My Primary school teacher talked the class through the story of the song and we performed it in the school concert some 60 years ago. I've always loved the song, but this is by far the best version i have ever heard. Superb stuff RIP Donnie!!!
If its the lead singer donnie munro you are saying RIP to, he's not dead
I am from Uruguay, a friend of mine traveled to your lands, brought this masterpiece to my knowledge, ever thankful for that moment
First time hearing this in 2021. I was bopping all round the kitchen.
One of very best days of my life being at this runrig concert at Balloch
I only found this group a few months ago and I so feel like I could have enjoyed them all my life. But thank God, I found them at 76 years old. I listen all the time and have every song available in my playlist now. 🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴
Listen to the summer walkers
The first time I heard this, I was in the Bettyhill Hotel Pub, in 2000, an American tourist looking for herself and making new friends. I was so moved I began to weep and had to go outside to heather and hill to compose myself. The way Runrig performs it is an amazing, moving anthem! I love it! Goosebumps and tears, indeed!! Thank you, Lads!!!
I know exactly what you mean. Well I've never been an American tourist but I fell in love in Scotland with Runrig as the background. Isle of Skye festival in that glorious summer 1986. What a life! We were at Loch Lomond for this show. We went home by boat across the Loch.
@@FrankRobinson99 wow!
my mom heard runrig a lot when i grew up and it was funny to recognize that my Club anthem is based on her favourite song Loch Lomond, was fun to meet some New people and greetings from germany
Cologne ❤🍻 Scotland
and everyone else🙌
I was driving a german highway yesterday at the dusk and was thinking about the shitty day I had at work. Then this song came on the radio. First I thought what kind of a song is this, the singers voice sounded so odd to me. I couldn‘t really understand most of the lyrics. But the more I listened, the better I liked it. Scotland must be a beautiful land. Would love to visit. ❤
Do visit our country its the best the world has to offer
You will be made very welcome anytime you come over
Love the way we Scottish talk That great big lump of water down there ❤
How have I only now heard this , I'm 39 it was played on radio 2 on Thursday had to finde it n did what a gem 💎 🏴🇬🇧
What a great place to stay. I'm so lucky to have such a great view
If ever I feel down.... I watch this and it cheers me up soooo much. God I wish I was Scottish..... Bless all I jocks 😊
FOOL.
I love Musik from Scotland.
Kind Reagrds from Austria :)
I was there,the whole day was amazing
I was there, watching this brings back so many memories, one of the best concerts I've ever been too. A good day by a good band,
Beautiful Scotland. And song and band. From Scots lass. Used to sing this in my teens. Xxx ❤❤❤❤
I'm Irish and proud but this song gives me goosebumps and hairs stand on the back of my neck I feel patriotic towards Scotland,I've Scottish ancestry in my family tree somewhere this is also an Irish song called red are the roses
I am also Irish with some Scottish ancestory and we all used to sing Loch Lomond. Then Tommy Makem and the Clancy Bros changed the actual words to "Red is the Rose" I am nearly certain that it was actually Tommy Makem.
who took the melody and put his own words to it and called it "Red is the Rose" . On saying it might have been Liam Clancy but I do remember Tommy Makem talking about Loch Lomond and explaining what they did.
I think all these people have passed on. They were a great folk group.
To me personally, the best live version ever of Loch Lomond by the band.
Just so proud to be a scot. The best nation in the world. And this is the best band,
Apart from the Drugs..
@@camhunt7310 that’s the best part
It was a glorious day and evening, worth the trip, and great that there were so many other nationalities, i stayed in Renton next to Balloch the night before and after the concert, was a fantastic weekend,
I was there, an unforgettable day.
they used ti play this in a wee bar i used to frequent back in the 90s was the last song every closing time,had the place jumpin everyone singin along was fkn brill
Another very underated band who deserve more air play! I have most of their albums, all are different and amazing!
I'm a kiwi yeah jealous the Scottish people I have ever met are beautiful people so kind and friendly God Bless
God bless yr wee soul.. 🏴
Spine tingling to a Canadian who was born of Scottish parents right after they immigrated to Canada. First heard this version whilst living in Saudi Arabia where 125 Scot Expats gathered in a compound to Out sing they bastard English ( for the game they were) in the Euro 2000 playoff Done it over both legs 125 Scots 3 Irish burds and a Canuck outsinging the English and their Vindaloo song we were belting out to this. Great tune.
Look at that crowd going nuts. Beautiful.
The song brings back great memories. I was one of the lucky USN sailors in Holy Loch. Loved my time there.
We miss you Yanks soo much....I grew up when you were based her. Lovely memories
Danced to this many a time in london after moving there for work in the late 80s/early 90s. Had all their early albums in plymouth as was into celtic/folky influenced music..Got to say that of all the many dance folk/rock/whatever type bands i have experienced live in my 69 years i have never danced as much as i did to these guys. Calum macdonald was a fantastic songwriter and musical genius. The gaelic lyrics were unsurprisingly over my head but boy could he pen a tune that could lift the soul or have you madly jigging around with a massive grin on your face. Sad its all over for them now, and me too with jigging around anymore, as time moves on but those live runrig musical memories will never leave me.
Ich habe die Band ein paar Mal gesehen, darunter auch in Freiburg in den 90er Jahren und vor ein paar Jahr auch hier in der Messehalle und es war immer wie ein Besuch in Schottland. Traditionelle Rhytmen mit tollem Chorgesang und einem Publikum, dass immer begeistert mit gegangen ist und mit einem echten Glücksgefühl aus den Konzerten ging. Die letzte Blu-ray von ihnen zum Abschied war ein grandioses Abschiedskonzert und hinterließ ein Gefühl von echtem Wehmut!
Wow, this is awesome, moves me to tears to see the happy people and watch this wonderful band perform a beautiful song.
This is a song that I think no one will ever forget and it is a wonderful song
Aussie here, glad to hear the songs of my ancestors, my family left scotland on the tichonderoga, but never forgotten where i come from.
I love this song so much. This is the song that introduced me to my years long obsession with Runrig. I haven't heard this song in a while because I kinda of fell off the wagon a bit years ago, but now I'm jumping back in because it's just that good.
And now I'm cringing because I was new to the internet when I on the Runrig fan forums and I was not shy about my thirst. Ugh, someone should really have taken the keyboard away from me, and I was about thirty years late to the party! 🤣
It’s time to be independent Scotland - take your rightful place among the nations of the world. Cross of St. Andrew flying proudly in NYC outside the UN. Scotland with their own voice in the World!
Yes please, leave RUK. If the English could vote in an indy referendum you would be long gone.
Crazy dude, what the f you smoking.
They were in Denmark last saturday, and this was one of the encores. I nearly cried! Love them!
There are Good & Bad in every country of this world & the many others that must exist in this Universe. I absolutely adore Scotland, it's Traditions,Languages, favourite tipple (and that's not a famous fortified wine :) ) and most importantly the wonderful People that are so welcoming. I love Scotland & I know I was born elsewhere but have scot ancestry. I travel but everytime I come back to Scotland ...I'm truly Home
Beautiful, to aw the people fae the world saying they love Scotland. WE LOVE YA RIGHT BACK
I am a Scot.
I speak from the heart.
I drink my whisky from a Quaich
I wear my clan tartan with an arrogant pride
I fight back tears at the skirl of the pipe and drum
I will walk once again in the land of my ancestors and know that I am home.
Dobber the robber
Here in Scotland we just call that walking, to the bus, the boat or to the end of the street.
and i drnk mine fea a cup
me tae stevie lol
Amen brother
22nd June 1991 I was 11 years old and can still feel the hair on the back of my neck standing. Had to learn to pogo real quick haha
Nothing beats this
Still one of the most iconic songs ever
This brings back so many memories. Thank you for the upload.
I was too young to go to this but I remember the atmosphere about the place as I lived in Alexandria at the time 💖
Have you ever seen a crowd react like that, with such passion and unision? That is what it is to be Scottish! 🏴

My mom, dad, aunt and uncle were in that audience!! I wish i was born then so i could have heard that live! This song makes me very proud to be Scottish! Best song in the world!!
