    Whoever voted in a negative way probably has now idea how much work goes into something like this. Awesome. Amazing! I have listened to a lot of music in my life - so far. And I have sung a lot. Well, as a German I will probably never be involved in a production of this song but I have to say how much I love this. Thanks you so much for your work and all the love that went into this. I'm pretty sure this never made anyone of you a dime. Just be reminded that it brougth a smile to people's faces. At least it brought one to mine!

    Beautiful rendition of this old favourite, which tells the story of prince Charles Edward Stuarts escape from the Scottish mainland, to the Isle of Skye in the Hebrides. After his Jacobite army was crushingly defeated at Culloden Moor Charles fled into the Scottish highlands where he was sheltered by clansmen, none of whom betrayed him in spite of the threat of death and a reward of 30,000 pounds.He was aided by Flora MacDonald, who disguised him as her serving maid. He subsequently escaped to France became a bitter and broken alcoholic and died in Rome. Flora MacDonald was arrested and held in the Tower of London, but was later released in a general amnesty. She later married, emigrated to North Carolina, but returned to Scotland where she died.

      My husband and I toured Scotland back in 1999. We visited Glasgow, Edinburgh, Crieff, Stirling, Perth, Inverness, Isle of Skye, Oban and Lannark. Gorgeous country, enjoyed visiting the cities/towns that have their own charm. The Scots are charming and welcoming, we were able to make good friends there. We did go to Culloden. It is a vast expanse of field. They have markers of the Clans for those who lost their lives there. Considering the number of people visiting, most spoke in hush tones during a tour. Once upon the field itself most, if not all people did not speak, in reverence for the deceased.

    Speed bonnie boat like a bird on the wing
    Onward the sailors cry.
    Carry the lad that's born to be king
    Over the sea to Skye
    Loud the winds howl
    loud the waves roar
    Thunderclaps rend the air
    Baffled our foes
    stand by the shore
    Follow they will not dare
    chorus
    Though the waves heave
    soft will ye sleep
    Ocean's a royal bed
    Rocked in the deep
    Flora will keep
    Watch by your weary head
    chorus
    Many's the lad fought on that day
    Well the claymore could wield
    When the night came silently lay
    Dead on Culloden's field

    So beautiful and haunting. Culloden was a tragedy for the entire Scottish Highland culture. Maybe it's simple romanticism, but being Scouse Irish, I feel a great affinity for the Jacobite cause. And although it might seem petty, it grates on me to see and hear British Army regiments play this tune, particularly as 'Culloden' was displayed as a 'Battle Honour' on flags/drums etc. This probably became 'un-PC' when England needed Scots troops who had a martial Highland heritage.

      This is because an “Outlander version” doesn’t actually exist. The lyrics Outlander serie used as the opening theme are a version of the Skye Boat Song wrote by Robert Louis Stevenson. The words are mean to to be sung by the Prince himself: “sing me a song of a lad that is gone, say, could that lad be I?” Outlander simply changed the “lad” with “lass”. That’s why the song is beautiful: it wasn’t invented by the Outlander people. And that’s why the song doesn’t fit with Claire’s story.

Also have learned recently through document search and DNA that my fathers people come from Spey Valley, Skye, Argylle, Mull and the Shetlands.

      Outlander used the Robert Louis Stevenson words which I think are pretty meaningful too. Boulton's words are in the third person telling a story about the prince. Stevenson's are in the first person where the prince himself seems to be lamenting his lost spirit. Both pretty meaningful to me :-)

    OUCH ! You felt like you were there with them, in that moment - to be treasured. I have sang in a choir a bit like this and I admired the singers around me for their talent. These guys are beautiful.

    The tenor received a lot of help from the soprano, Emily
    Doyle. She was great. You can hear her in “Black is the Color of My
    True Love’s Hair.” Her voice in this later recorded song was
    past great - fantastic.

    There is something beautiful about how earnestly Mark Waters adds his voice to this song as part of the body of the choir, giving the later role I know him (and the choir) for. Love it

Brings my part Irish-Scottish American blood out in me, here since 1721, one of them wounded at the Battle of Bunker Hill, clan McGaffey married into the famous Wallace clan! The McGaffeys fought in the battle of Culloden, originally spelled McAfee from Aberdeen! Thank you~
