This version of Arran Boat Song is played with two mountain dulcimers and a bowed psaltery. The dulcimers are tuned DAd and the song begins on the 1st fret of the dulcimer. A guitar is also playing accompaniment off camera.
Somewhere along the way the song became related to an escape from Lochleven Castle. Listed are some sites that provide more information and related sheet music and lyrics.
