I played this at my Dads funeral.He was my absolute hero,he walked all of his life and Adored Scotland and it’s history.He climbed most of her mountains and fished most of her lochs and rivers.He raised my two younger sisters and me the same way,to be proud of who we are and he just loved the Corries.❤️🏴
Although i am not from Scotland,i have been about 5 times in bonnie scotland.these 2 guys are extaordinary good.could listen them,endlessly. Hail caledonia. Flower of scotland. A guy from 🇦🇹 Austria 👍
As a Folk group we supported the Corries 60 years ago in what was the Playhouse Cinema in Fort William. We were called The Nevis Folk Four. Happy days.

The Corries have been with me for these last four decades - they are what my heart tells me it wants to listen to ...bards of a long lost time. Music is pure magic and a time traveling device, so thanks to them these old times are not lost.
Beautiful comment. I grew up in Cape Breton, NS & my Dad loved this music. As a kid, I didn't appreciate it, but now that I'm older, it brings me back to my youth.
I met my husband in 1965, we married a year later. A few years later he went climbing in the Scottish Highlands for the first time with a few friends. He decided he would have to take his daughter and I to see the beauty of our country. We have never looked back. We have explored our country all over, and I will be ever gratefull to my lovely husband for showing us the majesty of our homeland. Sadly, he left us a year ago, but he left us with so much. He took us by the hills to the land where fancy is free. We love the songs that praise our amazing country, they will be with us always.thank you my Drew.
What a beautiful story, i am so glad your husband Drew introduced you to Scotland’s beauty he was obviously a man who enjoyed and appreciated life’s natural beauty.Scotland is a country that has a majestic beauty and I am so proud to be Scottish.🏴

@@VinnyMartello Hi Vinny, thank you for your reply. I can tell you that I,ve always wanted to travel to America. I always thought I would some day.

Kind regards to you.
@@Elliemac100 I'd love to go to Scotland one day. I do really love my home, though. I'm from Maryland, and I'm deeply connected with this place. I consider myself lucky to be a part of it. There's just a certain feeling that accompanies thoughts of your own homeland, no matter where you're from.
I mind watching them at the Adam Smith Hall in Kirkcaldy, what a show ner To be forgotten even as I sit here in a warm evening in Sydney Australia, I remember as clear as day.
when I was a student in Edinburgh in the sixties they started as The Corry Folk four and Paddy Bell in a club called The Place. They started and wrote Flower of Scotland. I sat with Ronnie in Murrayfield at lunch on the day he sand it first on the pitch! He is a great guy; good company!
I had the privilege of meeting Roy Williamson a couple of years before we lost him. He and Ronnie Brown were stars but they still had that folk club humanity where all are equal and a guy from the crowd can come to talk mandolin strings and be welcomed. A brief chat after a lovely gig - which left their satin shirts drenched - but it's treasure for me. There's another Williamson and that's the legendary Robin of The Incredible String Band. Up there with the gods in so many ways but always down here with us. We exchanged scarves in 1982. The divas could learn a lot from Ronnie and Roy and Robin - and Carthy and MacColl and Seeger and KirkPatrick and Prior and Garbutt and others I've met - and that is, if you sing the songs of the people, their struggles, hopes and loves, you are one of the people. If you spend your time up there with the gods, you forget life down here. All those I've named - and others - impressed me deeply because, although they are - and were; some have moved on - musicians and lyricists of the highest order, they are still part of us, the people. Happy daze. x
I love how years after one of their deaths, this music can still touch the Scottish heart of this yankee boy. My family came from Ireland and mostly Scotland on both sides of my family. I've never been, but I still long for that beautiful country.
From wikipedia: "The Combolin was invented by Roy Williamson of The Corries in the summer of 1969. The combolin combined several instruments into a single instrument. One combined a mandolin and a guitar (along with four bass strings operated with slides), the other combined guitar and the Spanish bandurria, the latter being an instrument Williamson had played since the early days of the Corrie Folk Trio."

It took me a while to discover The Corries and Luke Kelly (The Dubliners). I listen to a lot of different types of music, but as far as I am concerned these guys are just as just a great as Led Zeppelin or The Who. I enjoy their music just as much.
Spot on. Agreed. If this was on a Zep album & called"Going to California" it would have sold millions. I love Zep btw. Im scottish, a guitarist & not particularly into folk music BUT...theres something in these songs that makes the hairs stand up on my neck & arms. I wish there was more ppl covered them or better tabs out there to learn them.
I saw The Corries in Elgin during 1970 I think. The Combolins were (still are) unique. An incredible sound and looking amazingly difficult to play. Roy Williamson was a flamin' genius, he really was. God how his family, Ronnie and all his friends must still miss him.

Its called a Combolin, a sort of guitar/harp/mandolin/lute. The word combolin is based on the words combination and mandolin.harpguitars.net/blog/2012/03/the-mysterious-magical-combolins/
If you search for Buachaill on Eirne (Boy of/from Ireland) there are sites with the words in gaelic, and I saw the English translation too. I have it on record with Laim Clancy.
Nice...I really dislike when music becomes a political tool...not nice to the artists, unless the artists intentionally made political music--and a few come to mind...from the 60s but that said...let the music lovers of Albion be...but alas trolls will be trolls. LoL
@@type.maireaduifhionnain8048 I'm about 1/8 Irish; this is my married name, it derives from the town 'Baldock' which is itself a mangling of the Norman French for 'Baghdad' being the centre for Knights Templar in the medieval period. The two variants, with B or W, spread in a diaspora largely through Cambridgeshire where some remained Catholic and some went into a totally opposite direction such that I found one in the time of the Civil War who rejoiced under the name Jesusdiedforyoursins Waldock. My Irish ancestors were Clark as far as i can determine. I'm about half Scots and the rest a mix of Saxon and Viking with a soupcon of Jewish from my dad's side. My husband's family had Irish in them as well, as his gran used to say, half Liverpool Irish, half bog irish, but that's the side with the surname Nelson. A good Viking surname to be found anywhere in eastern regions of our islands.

We don't need to choose. We are fortunate enough to have both, brilliant and beautiful.

yes I have done this...very emotional
I like this Scottish Dance music sound perfect. like this so much its happy tune I like you made this you tube this made Just for me .
lovely
I tried to live by the message of this song but it usually got me into trouble.
you cant beat the corries for the storys in their songs of a time long gone when life was less complicated
THEIR. THEIR. THEIR. Not "there".
their: beloning to them
there: a location
they're: contraction for they are.

You're right Deck. Snapping at people over mistakes doesn't motivate them to correct their behavior which is ironic because it's exactly what I did.

well done, kinda sad, its as tho the ancients are speaking to us.

Eddie and Finbar Fury made also a wonderful version of this song. I heard it first around 1968.

This is my favourite song put together with those wonderful combolins.....nothing quite like this sound anywhere else.
Does anyone know what the instrument is called that is shown in the photos of the video?
It's a Combolin - handmade by Ron I believe.
corries all the way NP CORRIES CORRIES CORRIES
Still alive and loved
can anyone please tell me what that lovely instument is called? it sounds likr a harpsichord but is held in hand...so pretty
Sounds very much like a Sitar
